Going For My Blue Belt
Well I was going for my blue belt on the day that she left meA white-robed instructor, looking like Warren BeattyOn the set of "Shampoo", saying "What's up with you?Your chops have all gone missing, that's not jiu-jitsu"I said it's easy to be funnyBut won't you cut me some slack, because my baby just left meStanding thereRunning my fingers through my hairAll will be revealed in the fullness of timeCos it's gonna change my lifeWhen I cross over the white lineGoing for my blue beltNow there's a time in your life when you know where it's atYou can't face looking forward, you don't wanna look backThe eternal now, I swear I've got to learn howTo squeeze another udder on the sacred cowI got no time to be missing youCos if I work the body then the mind will surely followStanding there...Like Ralph Macchio in "The Karate Kid"I must choose the life I want to liveI've got to dig within, I've got to find the inner manSongtexteChopping planks of wood with my soft right handGot to feel every nuance, every sinew, every nerveGot to be one man in the name of loveCos there's a branch of Cartesian philosophyWhen the mind tells the body "Now, drop and give me 20!"Going for my blue belt...
