Jaws of Life Lyrics


I used to march around the playground with my
friends

Yelling we hate girls and now all's well that
ends well

And there's so much to be said for fresh starts
and second chances

In a world of scary monsters and high tech
advances

I try to do what I do with love instead of with
anger

And when sometimes I bite my nails 'cause real
life is a cliffhanger

What with only seconds left at the end of the
10th hour

We got emergency ways to respond to the Nth power

The alloys are light weight and increasingly
durable

But as far as I'm concerned, the original is
preferable

I'm stubborn that way, I piss while humanity
waits

My motto wouldn't fit on a set of vanity plates

The watch in my pocket maybe indeed old and
tarnished

But at least I can raise my hand without a
shoulder harness

You know I can easily replace my lungs with a
respirator

My ?pants? with a DV and my staircase with an
escalator

But my life revolves around the spherical orbit
of earth

And it ends forever with the miracle moment of
birth

On the first day of spring, I start work on the
fall edition

And decide for myself who's a thief and who's a
politician

It's two different things on different pages of
the calendar

I gauge the way I react on the age of my
challengers

I row my boat gently against the current and I
believe

In real life and death experience and keeping and
even keel

What's that Dim, Stop that racket (2X)

Damn that noise, I'll kill them all
