Things To Do Today

(album: Word Of Mouth - 1999)

Stop fooling yourself, there ain't no future in it
But don't be acting like somebody else every couple of minutes
Cause there's a time coming, the meter's running
Lord knows, you're gonna want to stop fooling

Open up your eyes and maybe see how that goes
They say it helps a man visualize what's right in front of his nose
And there's a time coming, meter's running
Lord knows, you're gonna want to have 'em open

A list of things to do today
I write 'em down and I throw 'em away
It looks about the same as the list from yesterday

Shut your big mouth, baby, maybe just one time
And everybody won't see how greatly your mouth outweighs your mind
Cause there's a time coming, the meter's running
Lord knows, you're gonna want to shut up, aw

Yeah, a list of things to do today
I write 'em down and I throw 'em away
It looks about the same as the list from yesterday

Crack a smile, lift a finger, do something wild, criticize a singer
What else was it? Attention span, hey, check out the beer commercial
Check it out

Yeah, a list of things to do today
I don't remember what I wanted to say
It looks about the same as the list of yesterday

Talk about a list of things to do
List of things to do
I wish I still had the list I wrote down yesterday
Things to do today, things to do today
