"Word Play"

My brother may taunt me that I don't move forward and enjoy new artists, but I do. It just takes more than one song for me to like them - like Jason Mraz. I first saw him on the Ellen show a couple years ago and thought he was very cool.

You will get few - and I mean few - political / media oriented posts from me, and poor Doug who doesn't pay attention to the words never gets songs until I try to explain them to him - but this song "Too Much Food" says it all for me when it comes to politics (pardon some of the references - we watched Lewis Black tonight so I was in a mood, that guy is funny!!!!):

You can say that I'm one curly fry in the box of the regular

Messing with the flavor oh the flavor that you savor

Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all

Living in a fast food bag making friends with the ketchup and salt

People say that I'm crazy for not moving on to better things

Instead I'm sitting around trash talking with the onion rings

But it's much too soon to leave this easy life

Pass me the spoon.

Pass the analytical knife

Cause your about to get cut and get cut down

It's all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice

You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold

Better shut up or get shot down.

It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste

Stop telling me the way I gotta play.

Too much food on my plate.

Believe it or not I super sized my sights on the surprise in the cereal box

My stomachs smaller than my eyes so I went to see the doctor and he said "turn your head and then cough"

I didn't listen to what he said instead I couldn't wait to get off

He said I can have this but I cant have that

That I should keep wishing I was living the life of a cat becauseI ain't the one whose gonna be missing the feast

Just like you aint the one who seems to be calming the beast

Now your about to get cut and get cut down

It's all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice

You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold

Better shut up or get shot down.

It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste

Stop telling me the way I gotta play.

Too much food on my plate.

Well if you are what you eat in my case I'll be sweet so come and get some

I'm so over it.

Now your about to get cut and get cut downIt s all about the know how all just a matter of taste

Stop telling me the way I gotta play.

Too much food on my plate.(Get up and get some)there's too much food on my plate
