Lyrics for Pure Joy
What's that for if it's not for me? And I don't want to see it anyway Red man's sack bursting at the seams Here comes Daddy to tread on my dreams again I said, "I don't believe that" You said you'd try to understand I've got a good car but it's not a good car It won't take me to paradise for the day (Paradise for the day) I sit painting my uncle's fence He said, "Here's a glass of ignorance for you" I said, "I shouldn't drink that" Too many people say it's good for you Pure joy wins out again (Again) And makes it easy, oh And then the clouds come down with you I take my time I take my time, time, time, oh I'm only here for you
