Don't Should on Me lyrics

Two men come and disagree to agree

Both one to the other saying what should be

Each climbing higher up self righteous towers

And catapulting “shoulds” back and forth just empowers them

Don’t get me wrong i’m the king of it

Just a little bit hippy hypocrite winging it

Sometimes thinking that i’m knowing everything of it

And putting my should inside a song and singing it

Should as it should maybe sounds absurd

But should could be heard almost every other word

When you should on your friends it’s bad for the health

But you got to be careful not to should on yourself

These Towers of Babel all inevitably fall

With cracks in the walls and the building implodes

From the wreckage and rubble we rebuild another bubble

Cause that’s the way the monkey mind goes

With a “should do this!” and a “should do that!”

Everybody’s just trying to do good

But how many shoulds would a good man say

If he could stop would he stop shoulds

Oh my friend for the wounds to mend

There’s only one thing we should do

Don’t you should on me and i won’t drop my shoulds on you

Frequencies unfold in our numskulls

Like a spark in a dark cave

Where the light and sound waves

Pave a way to mental higher ground

All the little thoughts we collect

Turned them into bricks with our intellect

Build a tower in your hypothalamus and cortex

Our own fortress in our cerebellum

We can carry our convictions to the roof and yell ‘em

At the top of our lungs standing on the top rung
