Wisdom Cries 02:38
Write another song and y'all can sing along About the things I need, about the things I see And there ain't nothin' right if we can touch at night I need a good job and a man to change the oil So if you're hangin' out at night, you think it's love at first sight You'd better stick around to see if it's exhausting with me Because my brain won't stop and I will want to talk A dozen words for every feeling — but you "like me a lot" The truth in life, at hand: the things you love, you can't stand If you don't work on them you'll see, eventually Could be my missing link, and we'll swim or we'll sink But what you don't use you lose, and you don't want to lose me I'll keep on workin' hard just to pay off that card 'Cause I'm still seein' red and it gets to my head I'll overanalyze and I know wisdom cries, "Just keep your good job and find a man To change the oil in your car; Just keep that good job and don't you worry about no man"

Druthers 02:37
So I'm taking all these pills Rounding off the edges And developing my skills at nothing that I love Still the jury's out On this one, that one, all the others And it makes me wanna shout Oh please, oh please Could you help me figure out 'Cause it seems like you have got your druthers And you know I've got my doubts (x2) Well I'm enjoying all this bait But the hook inside of me is hurting And the blood's just bitter fate extracted straight from me To remind me what is true: That it doesn't matter what we want If we know what we should do Oh please, oh please Could you help me figure out 'Cause it seems like you have got your druthers And you know I've got my doubts (x2)
