Busy Boy

by Mal Price

lyrics

stay a busy boy or you're gonna go insane
you think philosophy is your savior but it's going to be your bane
you gotta try to keep it simple every day
cut the shit and do things your own way

get a girlfriend or a dog — try to fill the whole
that's left by the belief that you don't even have a soul
what's the use in being wise if you just feel lost —
a dwindling fire surrounded by the frost

cut out the hate — just leave those thoughts behind
and you'll be happy here
alleviate the bitterness you hear
but don't cover your ears

you can't just play dumb — they depend on you
to discover your self worth and see everything through
I suggest you love yourself before you love the girl
your humility is better for the world

cut out the hate — just leave those thoughts behind
and you'll be happy here
alleviate the bitterness you hear
but don't cover your ears
