Lyrics

Is that dumbass playing smart or a smart ass playing dumb
Folks’ll drag you out of bed at night for you to see the sun
They’ll insist on walking when you’re on the run
And when you say that this ain’t it, they’ll tell you you’re no fun

It ain’t honest
But it’s work
It ain’t helping
But its all that we know how
To do
It’s a drag, and I know
It ain’t new

Are the melodies that meander in your head
Recited words annunciated dreaming in your bed
A neighbor’s friend from college knows just what you’ve said
That’s a shame because you were only quoting what you read

It ain’t honest
But it’s work
It ain’t helping
But its all that we know how
To do
It’s a drag, and I know
It ain’t new

I don’t hear no defending
They just tighten the screws
There ain’t no sense in pretending
The freaks we’re electing ain’t representing you

Do you play the hand you’re dealt and when do you fold
Paint your face at midnight while the soup is getting cold
Goof troop in the alley and they’re growing ever bold
The faint aromatics of doing what you’re told

It ain’t honest
But it’s work
It ain’t helping
But its all that we know how
To do
It’s a drag, and I know
It ain’t new

The insight that becomes you when you clean your room
The flowers that are planted months before they bloom
The patterns that are woven neatly on the loom
The silence that erupts and speaks in volumes

It’s what’s honest
But it work
It’s what’s helping
It’s just all that we
Can do

It’s what’s honest
But it work
It’s what’s helping
It’s just all that we
Can do
