I Can't Stand It (live version 1)

[Intro]

This is a song about the sorrows of the contemporary world

Which I know we all know so well

At least I read about it all the time

It's like one day, this was when I was in college, right?

And I woke up, 6:30 in the morning 'cause I get up early

And I put on the radio and they said, "You know

So-and-so truck driver today ran over his baby son's head and it burst like a watermelon"

So— and then they said it was 22 degrees out

So I figured on all levels there was no reason to ever go out again

I stayed indoor—

I stayed indoors for about eight months

Also— also passed with honors in Kierkegaard

That's 'cause I understand that [?] existential leap

Anyone who lies in bed at 6:30 in the morning listening to that has to

Anyway, after that communism was the only answer for me, I thought

And if you can't be a communist and make money, then you have to be a rock and roll singer

At least in Hoboken, so

So anyway, this is a song called "I Can't Stand It Anymore"

[Verse 1]

I can't be sittin' around

Living in a garbage pail

My old lady called me up

She tried to hit me with a mop

[Chorus]

I can't stand it anymore, more

I can't stand it anymore, more

I can't stand it anymore, more

But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

[Verse 2]

I live with thirteen dead cats

A purple dog that wears spats

They're all out living in the hall

And I can't stand it anymore

[Chorus]

I can't stand it anymore, more

I can't stand it anymore

I can't stand it anymore, more

But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

It's hard being a man

Living in a garbage pail

My landlady called me up

She tried to hit me with a mop

[Chorus]

I can't stand it anymore, more

I can't stand it anymore, more

I can't stand it anymore, more

But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

[Outro]

Be alright (Be alright)

Be alright (Be alright)

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Be alright

Alright, alright, yeah, alright

[Spoken]
