it's six a.m., alarm is ringing sun is rising, birds are singing forget your troubles, your aching head try to remember who it was that said in america, in america anything can happen anything can happen anything can happen if you show up for work so, brush your hair, comb your teeth you never know who you might meet try to remember for what it's worth to shine your shoes and iron your shirt (chorus) if you're feelin' sown and busted just can't seem to get adjusted try to be thankful for all you've got ball up your fist and punch the clock (chorus)

tangled web 03:57
we practiced in the art of deceiving now we're caught up in the sticky mess of pride it's hard to find our way back to believin' we're goin' 'round in circles trapped inside a tangled web a tangled web what a tangled web, we're weavin' just when we think maybe we fought clear it feels like no way out can be found we're wrapped up in so many lines of thought here i think it's time we started tearin' down this tangled web tangled web it's a tangled web we're weavin' now, i ain't sayin' all we did can be un-done but i know we're not the first ones to have carelessly spun a tangled web a tangled web what a tangled web we're weavin' well it's a....

faith in me 03:35
i missed my rendezvous with destiny i couldn't find my spectacles now destiny is waiting patiently while i walk around in circles somewhere in my house or in my truck there's a misplaced reminder about the date i made with Lady Luck now i don't know how to find her but i have faith in me so what if i ain't ever had much to say i have faith in me and i'll come around, i'll come around someday judge and jury all went out for beers my testimony dangles like the cigarette ashes of my peers as they network and mingle (look at 'em mingle) but i have faith in me so what if i ain't ever had much to say i have faith in me and i'll come around, i'll come around someday i'll come around, i'll come around someday
