lyrics

What to do w/ a sleeping Lion
(Piano G# B Song)

Look at all the people.
I wonder what they have to say.
Signs above them reading, “No Blood for Oil!”
“Stop War Today!”

(alternate first verse: I document the action
I’m hoping for a strong reaction
Bush and Cheney have to listen
What will stop their motovation God?)

Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up and get ‘em down
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up sit up gather knock ‘em down.
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up and get ‘em down
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up sit up gather knock ‘em down.

We’d better shoot that lion. He’s got some claws—they’re hidden away.
Take that spear and poke him. You’ll see I’m right, just don’t run away.
OK! It’s time to sleigh!

Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up and get ‘em down
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up sit up gather knock ‘em down.
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up and get ‘em down
Take a look around…
We’re gunna get up sit up gather knock ‘em down.

Since these early days JS10 has written over 200 songs, grown out of diapers, and released more than 6 full-length albums (& 1 unreleased) ... more
