Minutemen – Tour Speil lyrics

The "schtik" to do for gigs. With bits and pieces of the working thesis, we
Jammed the "schtik" to do for gigs. We took me and D. Boon's and George's
Stench and put them up on stage. We'd fight at practice then go jam econo and
Spout the tour-spiel. I dreamt I was E. Bloom but I woke up E. Bloom in some
Town out on the road. With patent-leather boots on (just like Richard told me),
another hack on the "Spectors" tour. Now you got your guitar and your practice
Amp, you travel the usa in a van and Troccoli's counting on some situation but
How are you going to write the song I dreamt? And with the guitar turned off and
the gas tank empty and the typewriter on but my head is empty and to really find
me I've got to look inside me and cut the tour-spiel.

What's up by 4 Non-Blondes
---------------------------

25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill
of hope
for a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
to get it all out what's in my head
then I start feeling a little peculiar
so I wake in the morning and I step
Outside I take a deep breath
I get real high
then I scream from the top of my lungs
what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
And I said hey what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
I said hey what's goin' on
and I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
and I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
for a revolution
so I cry sometimes when I'm lyin' in bed
to get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
so I wake in the morning and I step outside
I take a deep breath then I get real high
then I scream from the top of my lungs
what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
And I said hey what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
I said hey what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
And I said hey what's goin' on
and I say hey... Etc.
I said hey what's goin' on
25 years of my life and still
I'm tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
