I'm Ready Lyrics & Tabs by Mike Love
I'm Ready
guitar chords lyrics
Gone are the days of playing charades
and telling stories by the campfire.
These are the times when no one unwinds
and the day that you die is when you retire.
And minimum wage is just what you'll take,
even at your age, just to get hired.
They got you by the balls so when the boss calls you,
You better come running, you better come running.
Pick up the slack and get off your ass
and take out the trash little brother.
And if you can't there's always someone
who can and you'll get the can brother.
It's a fucked up system, got you by the throat again,
like a sheep in a pen.
I don't wanna be 75 years old, still doing as I'm told, flipping burgers at the McDonalds drive thru. Would you?
I wanna live where the ocean meets the sand
and hand in hand we'll be dancing.
And I will be where the skyline meets the trees,
do as I please, waste my days away.
Hey brother what do you say, lets go out and play,
cause every day is so precious.
And all the money you spend don't matter
in the end when all your possessions are crumbling to dust
and pollution, only an illusion, never everlasting Love,
rise above and break the cycle, take the control, wake up your soul.
Why don't you wake up your soul?
So many of us afraid of it but what are we waiting for,
won't you wake up your soul. .
Cause all this life that we lose along the way won't fade to gray, won't be wasted, and all this Love that is living in our souls will overflow, wash the pain away. I'm ready. For the rain to fall, for the flood to rise, to manifest all the wisdom left by my ancestors, to take the lead and sow the seeds of our future, for the sun to shine and realign all our hearts and spirits, to sing the song of my heart for all who will hear it. I'm ready
