Lyrics

Slogans

Well I remember the public pool
And all the trash on the ground
In the park was cool
All the cigarette butts fought the needles
And all of The Stones fought all The Beatles
Mirror mirror on the wall
Oh come on, that's not me at all
Now who's that handsome animal?
I feel so good I feel six feet tall
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
Shoguns and Hulk Hogans
And cavemen shouting slogans
Back and forth around the fire
Now connected by a wire
So everyone you meet is you
Divided by what they've been through
The fates fly past beyond control
And make pebbles of our mountain soul
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
And that phone call made my stomach fold
I heard in your voice a heart so cold
I stumbled back shaking with loss
They said stop calling Santa Claus
I thought my heart's not the kind you break
It's just that certain things
Are hard to take
But now that I've got it all on tape
I can really figure out it's shape
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
And now I take it take it take it day by day
And now I take it take it take it day by day
But it's a lucky coincidence
Because I think it even comes that way
