Philosophy - Shelved First Attempt

Lyrics for Philosophy - Shelved First Attempt

Won't you look up at the skyline? At the mortar, block, and glass And check out the reflections in my eyes You see they always used to be there Even when this was all was grass And I sang and danced about a high-rise And you were laughing at my helmet hat Laughing at my torch Well, go ahead, you can laugh all you want I got my philosophy (it keeps my feet on the ground) And I trust it like the ground (ground) And that's why my philosophy (my phil') It keeps me walking when I'm falling down ('osophy) I see that there is evil And I know that there is good Now the in-betweens, I never understood Would you look at me? I'm crazy But I get the job done Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done And I say, go ahead, you can laugh all you want But I got my philosophy (it keeps my feet on the ground) And I trust it like the ground (ground) And that's why my philosophy (my phil') It keeps me walking when I'm falling down ('osophy) I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys I didn't realize You weren't having fun And I dragged you up the stairs And I told you to fly You were flapping your arms You started to cry, you were too high No, too high You may take this all for granted You take the mortar, block, and glass And you forget the speech that moved the stone But it's really not that you can't see The forest from the trees You never been out in the woods alone So you can laugh all you want to But I got my philosophy (it keeps my feet on the ground) And I love you, you're my friend (friend) But you got no philosophy (my phil') And now it's time for the song to end ('osophy) (Count that bitch off, somebody) (You count it off) (Scream it) (we're Swervedriver, where's the party? (One, two, thee four)
