lyrics

Calvin Coolidge had his time in the sun
but when all was said and done he was just another dude
I could try to be what dictators are made of
but you know I've got some rare disease that disqualifies me
from ever being able to resist
doing anything to get a slap on the wrist

Everyone has said at one time or another
that it's time to get a leg up on this terrible design
but when it's time to ask for that investment there
seems to always be a clause that robs you of your sight
and gives it to some undeserving leech
always in your sight but always slightly out of reach

Read a book, figure it out

Put a little thought into the working day
and when you get your pay you'll know that its deserved
but if that's not enough, like it's not for me
then perhaps we'll have a chance to see our fortunes made elsewhere
like maybe somewhere up on PEI
who's to say what we can do beyond just live and die?

Read a book, figure it out
