Lyrics
"Here Comes the Girl"
Education in the Ivy League
Resume bursting at the seam
Do I have to mention how she looks?
She turns honest men in to petty crooks
Here comes the girl
She's walking by, she's talking by herself
She can get her way, whatever she wants
Here comes the girl
And she doesn't care, she doesn't give a damn
How happy is the girl?
All she wants is to be on top
She starts up in the morning and she doesn't stop
The clock counts the passing of her time
She tries to bury the pain deep inside her mind
Here comes the girl
She's walking by, she's talking by herself
She can get her way, whatever she wants
Here comes the girl
And she doesn't care, she doesn't give a damn
How happy is the girl?
Just a young thing, only five years old
When her daddy decided to just up and go
She was shaken to the very core
She would never trust nobody no more
Here comes the girl
She's walking by, she's talking by herself
She can get her way, whatever she wants
Here comes the girl
And she doesn't care, she doesn't give a damn
How happy is the girl?
"Here Comes the Beard"
People break down and fight for their lives
Never knowing if they're wrong or they're right
So much work to do until we die
Tell me that we never have to die
Here comes the beard
He's walking by, he's talking by himself
He can disappear whenever he wants
Here comes the beard
He's walking by, and nobody gives a damn
How happy is the beard?
Girls with makeup
Boys with their books
Women with their big cups
Men with their dirty looks
He can slide right down inbetween
The cracks of civilization, if you know what I mean
Here comes the beard
He's walking by, he's talking by himself
He can disappear whenever he wants
Here comes the beard
And nobody cares, nobody gives a damn
How happy is the beard?
Let the sky fall, let the heavens rain
He will always have a smile upon his face
Nothing never lasts forever, that is true
That is why he's giving all his love to you
Here comes the beard
He's walking by, he's talking by himself
He can disappear whenever he wants
Here comes the beard
And nobody cares, nobody gives a damn
How happy is the beard?
Here comes the beard
Here comes the beard
How happy is the beard?
