Meet our band of merry men
Shake the hand of every one
We'll eat your food and steal your wives
Buy us beers we're friends for life

We only shoot when shot at
We give away what we don't need
We live for fun and freedom
We stamp out fear and greed

To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy

We sleep on floors and live on crumbs
We're a bunch of ugly bums
A great idea when we were smashed
Turning anger into cash

We ain't seen much
But we don't starve
We drive around
In our mom's cars

To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy

Smash a glass and cry too much joy
That's right, we're Too Much Joy

We're like the reverse Buddha
'Cause Buddha teaches you

To give up the things in this world, they only tie you down
And Too Much Joy knows it's the opposite that is true
It's the puddle of beer on the floor of the club that stinks
That ties you to this world and makes you know you're alive
It's only having two dollars to fill up your car with gas
and ?

To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy
To create you must destroy
Smash a glass and cry too much joy

And this awful thing, because effectively we are doing the message board equivalent of changing stadiums:

Roger Whittaker is a dweeb and his "music" is lamer almost than you would think would be possible even considering that it is written and performed for unbearably old and unbearably white people who've never really had a challenging artistic or political thought or moment in their lives --- but goddamn the lyrics of that song are sad as fuck and get me every time.

i'll always remember "Dang Me" from that PECO commercial they used to play like 4 times every phillies game x years ago.

What was it like 20 years ago? I have no clue.

Idon' tremember that, so it may have been earlier when I was living out of town.

Just in case this was connected to the Roger Whittaker post above it, Dang Me was by Roger "King of the Road" Miller.
