Backseat of your family station wagon

Listenin' to mom

100 years of solitude

and only 12 years old



God make up your mind

God make up your mind

Do you wanna play fair

Should I take what's mine?



Mama's callin' out

look at the grand canyon

Camilla couldn't care less

Gazin' to the home

your stomach feels the emptiness



God make up your mind

God make up your mind

Do you wanna play fair

Or should I take what's mine?

Like everyone else



From New York to New Orleans

played alphabet

Kansas to Boise

won a battleship

memorize the capitals

crossword puzzles

drew a picture of a cat

layin' dead in the street

Daydream about Maria back in California



Elephant in your brain

remindin' you you've got to make a choice

Wraps his arms around ya slow

Cause you tense up like an armadillo



God make up your mind

God make up your mind

Do you wanna play fair

Or should I take what's mine?

Like everyone else



Why am a teacher on the street sign

has done so much more than politicians

than musicans

You wanna help someone

you gotta be a no one

that's what I figured out

the cat in the street meant



You gotta make up your mind

make up your mind

make up your mind
