Just Words

A disjointed set of lyrics and phrases is here:
Just as the clothes do not make the man, according to George Michael, neither does having a "successful" job. There is no need to worry, "'cause every little thing is gonna be alright." After all, "there is no time like the present," and the present is all we got. And dreams do come true, though they may not look like anything we can readily recognize. "Mothers, be good to your daughters," John Mayer begs, for they are the future generation of leaders and trend-setters, and the blueprint for the generations ahead. "All the world is a stage," and we are all main actors in our own plays with tremendous pressure to perform. What would happen if we don't do well, if the Others don't like us, walk out on us, and reject us. The pressure to please by twisting into a form accessible to everyone runs the machine that is the crux of our limited existence. Oh validation! "I don't wanna grow up, I am a Toys R Us kid. There's a million toys at Toys R Us that I can play with!" Showing up to life every morning like a child with nothing to prove, impress, or otherwise demonstrate. "The Return to Innocence." Go Enya! In the meantime, I will continue "sipping on gin and juice." Just kidding! I will continue sipping my warm herbal tea, go lie down on "the bed of roses," (so nauseatingly romantic), and enjoy deep relaxation.
