Jaws Of Life Songtext

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
