Lyrics

Previous Candidates Need Not Apply

V1
Love it or Shove it

If there’s a hole in your heartland

Tell me who dug it?

Outrageous Uprising

Another morning Sun, I ain’t done

In fact, I’ve hardly even begun

CHORUS

See I’m getting together

Some people to work through

A new Work/Life balance

Far better than old broken down blues

I’m looking for good souls

Who thrive with livewire obvious talents

For I mean to live not merely survive

Previous Candidates Need Not Apply

V2
Maybe I’ve got a grave already ready for me

That plot can stay empty for all eternity

I’m keeping my self away from the soil

Too many tendrils of torture you can get embroiled

In meaningless discussions to put today off

Easily avoided if you play around with what you’ve got

Give me energy it’s all I need

I’m good to get going ahead full speed

CHORUS

See I’m getting together

Some people to work through

A new Work/Life balance

Far better than old broken down blues

I’m looking for good souls

Who thrive with livewire obvious talents

For I mean to live not merely survive

Previous Candidates Need Not Apply

CHORUS2 /CODA

No more illusions, this conclusion arrives

Yes I’m looking for good souls Who thrive

For I mean to live not merely survive

I’m getting there somehow:- I won’t be denied

And if you care to come along for the ride

That’s fine,

Previous Candidates Need Not Apply

What a clever way to say you’re dumping the baggage and moving on.

Sign me up! This is the second of your lyrics I've seen, I think. In addition to the great rhythm and flow, I'm noticing a certain sly humor, though maybe I don't know what you're talking about. At any rate, I found myself amused and leaning in to see where things would go. Definitely want to avoid getting embroiled in tendrils of torture, if at all possible

Nice, great cadence to the lyrics, apt message. Well done.
