I Can’t Stand It (live version 1)

Lyrics

[Intro] This is a song about the sorrows of the contemporary world Which I know we all know so well At least I read about it all the time It's like one day, this was when I was in college, right? And I woke up, 6:30 in the morning 'cause I get up early And I put on the radio and they said, "You know So-and-so truck driver today ran over his baby son's head and it burst like a watermelon" So— and then they said it was 22 degrees out So I figured on all levels there was no reason to ever go out again I stayed indoor— I stayed indoors for about eight months Also— also passed with honors in Kierkegaard That's 'cause I understand that [?] existential leap Anyone who lies in bed at 6:30 in the morning listening to that has to Anyway, after that communism was the only answer for me, I thought And if you can't be a communist and make money, then you have to be a rock and roll singer At least in Hoboken, so So anyway, this is a song called "I Can't Stand It Anymore" [Verse 1] I can't be sittin' around Living in a garbage pail My old lady called me up She tried to hit me with a mop [Chorus] I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright [Verse 2] I live with thirteen dead cats A purple dog that wears spats They're all out living in the hall And I can't stand it anymore [Chorus] I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore I can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] It's hard being a man Living in a garbage pail My landlady called me up She tried to hit me with a mop [Chorus] I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more I can't stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright [Outro] Be alright (Be alright) Be alright (Be alright) Be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright Alright, alright, yeah, alright [Spoken] Thank you
