about

Knocked out by the awesome George Carlin documentary on HBO last night. Shattered my brain. Seemed as honest as the man himself and as huge as his (repressed?) heart. So today, this…(which I’m pretty sure he’d loathe)

lyrics

i WANNA BELIEVE (for George Carlin)

I wanna believe
that the sun will shine again
I wanna believe
that my friends will be ok
n i try n i try n i try
t keep on hopin’
n i cry n i cry myself
t sleep at night

don’t worry
be happy
get back on the horse
n ride

I wanna believe
that love will win the day
I wanna believe
that the truth
is here t stay

can’t fake it
can’t take it anymore
it’s time
for all of us
t rise

n i try n i try
t keep on hopin’
n i cry n i cry myself
t sleep at night

there’s gotta be
a better way
a better way
than hatin’ all the haters

there’s gotta be
a love
supreme
n never givin’ up

when i think about
i think about
all my friends

i know it
i really know it
we ain’t outa luck

I wanna believe
that the sun will shine again
I wanna believe
that my friends will be ok
I wanna believe
that the sun will shine again
n i try n i try n i try
t keep on hopin’
t keep on hopin’

i believe ya George
but i’m goin’ another way
