I'm Not Givin' Up

I'm Not Givin' Up

Don't wanna lift my head

Don't wanna get outta bed

How did things ever get so bad?

Thinkin' 'bout it only makes me sad

Sti-i-i-i-i-i-i-ill...

Chorus: I'm not givin' up

But I feel left behind

The world at large

Can be so unkind

Don't want the weight of the world on my shoulders

This doesn't make me be any colder

Yet I'll do my part to make the world a better place

I've succeeded if I've put a smile on one single face

Bridge: They say what doesn't kill you

Only makes you stronger

If that's the case then...

I'm feelin' better now one step at a time

The first one's a dilly but my world is still mine

Not gonna worry 'bout what I can't control

One thing I can protect is the solace of my soul

Chorus: Repeat and Fade

Court Jester

Court Jester

I love to watch you act like a fool

Makes me feel better

Isn't this cool?!

Chorus: I'm keeping you down

Let's see you dance the jig

Like a clown

( Repeat two times )

I love the way you get caught in my trap

You stole my cookies

Now give them back!

Bridge: Don't feel bad Court Jester

You've gotta loose that frown

But I'm still keeping you down

You're my puppet I pull the strings

This way, that way

How much joy this brings!

Thank-you Odysseus

Thank-you Odysseus

Thank-you Odysseus

You served your people well

Through adversity comes greatness

You did your time in hell

Chorus: Never give up

The mighty will rise again

The world has faith in you

You are a shinning friend

Calypso you nymph

Ultimate temptress supreme

Every man wants you

In their wildest dreams

Chorus: Repeat

Penelope your faith

In your man is commendable 

Suitors at your feet

Will always be expendable

Chorus: Repeat

Telemachus you are

All that your parents hoped

Leading a brighter future

'Til the final note

Christmas Crazy

Christmas Crazy

Fighting to the death for the last parking spot

Cutting me off to race to the red light

Chorus: We've all go-o-o-o-o-ne

Christmas crazy

Logic has fa-a-a-a-aded

It's all getting hazy

Vicious tug of war for the last sale item

On to the next store think I'm gaining momentum

Chorus: Repeat

Trying to be polite with seasonal relatives

'Tis the season to fire off those loaded expletives

Bully

Bully

You damn coward!

I feel sorry for you

Your soul is broken

You feel there is nothing

That you can do

Chorus: The root of the problem

Chicken or egg?

Inherited behaviour

A chain to break

You don't know better

Looking for attention?

Try something good!

Necessity truly is 

The mother of invention

Chorus: Repeat

Nobody wins until

You want to change

Get a real life for yourself

Your world will be new

You will have to rearrange

Chorus: Repeat and Fade
