Songtext zu 'Long Term Goal' von Brendan Benson

You fell asleep on the couch in the middle of the afternoon.
You woke up to find that the sun had been replaced by the moon.
It’s a drag now when all your friends cannot be reached by phone.
But you sat down like your missing
Out ‘cause nobody’s home

Have you got a long term goal?
Is it only rock and roll that you live for?
Under the gun is the only way to get done, you shouldn’t know?
You got all the time in the world, but nothing to show
It’s a get rich quick scheme for which some would sell their soul
Wait for the pipedream, take your
Sorry ass and crawl back in the hole

Have you got a long term goal?
Is it only rock and roll that you’re born to play?
And you’re just getting by with a silver tongue, you don’t have to try
It’s one to invent but I for one am not impressed
No I am not impressed

When the spring comes, and the sun is out, you drive yourself crazy
In the summertime, beneath the shady tree, just getting lazy
Come fall, when the air is crisp and the wind grows colder
You’re taking it all with a grain of salt, you’re just getting older
