Description
A thoughtful song which touches on humor but has a lot of truth as well. The beat is somewhere between reggae and shuffle as the song lilts along oblivious to any strict stylization.
Lyrics
I was sittin' on a mountain top Waitin' for the penny to drop Nothin' to bring me down It hit me like a lightening bold Twenty-two thousand volts Threw me to the ground Two-thousand years ponderin’ Israelites wanderin’ If Moses only knew There were more than ten commandments Moses missed a few Here’s what I’m talkin ‘bout Thou shalt not worry Over things so small Thou shalt not hurry ‘cause you can’t do it all If things aren’t goin’ your way Thou shalt not bitch and moan Moses missed a few commandments on the back When he smashed that stone Here’s a few more Thou shalt not leave to big a footprint On mother earth Thou shalt not continue eatin’ When you reach a certain girth Thou shalt make an effort But thou shalt not do it alone Moses missed a few commandments on the back When he smashed that stone Here’s the last of ‘em When your at a party Thou shalt not double dip If you’re lookin’ for romance Thou shalt stay away from Sunset Strip Thou shalt not plant and grow Anymore than you can smoke Thou shalt not treat the commandments Thou shalt not disdain the commandments You might be incarcerated if you treat the commandments as a joke
