It's Nice To Make Money From Your Creative Works

lyrics

I was talking to Jan and I said "that's so subtle"
It is a very subtle mechanism
Which we don't understand
Oh of course, not completely, yet
Other things I understand
Other things past generations understood which I don't
Other things future generations understand which I don't.
The things I do -
Hey what you say man? I'm so full of you
Hey what you say woman? I'm so full of you
Hey what you say father? I'm so full of you
Hey what you say mother? I'm so full of you
Hey what you say family? I'm full of you
Hey what you say brothers and sisters now? I'm full of you

So I was saying it's subtle
That's so subtle
Not even admitting to being surprised
It's such an in between gesture
That's why Nigel was a bad teacher to so many students
But not in any incredibly important situations yet
That's why Nigel was a bad student to so many teachers
But not in every situation yet

And it's nice to make money from your creative works if you can
it happens that one is lucky
and heard the opportunity have to
from being able to write the career
on the scholarship application
and actually get one
scholarship for science
scholarship for music
born in a situation
that would let me do things that I want to

Not whenever I want
I've been starting to feel that lately a lot
How much I'm not allowed to make noise it
Or even the early evening
Or even for a short while in the night
Once in a week, once in a blue moon,
Once or twice in the night,
And trying to do it everyday
I have so many things which take me out of the house during the day
I could actually make time to go home and practice
I could actually set my schedule however I want
That would let me freely do what I want
Except when I'm not free

From self-controlling
I invented the little self
With my penis and with my mind
except when i'm not free
from self controlling
i invented the little self
with my own penis
and with my mind

I'm worthy of listening a second time
of course i'm.
There's an upside and a downside to my philosophy
And there's the state of being the philosophy describes
And they're both right, one beside the other
But one of them is inside the other
But one of them is really not in the other one
But the other one is in the One Other.
Did I somehow now realize
Thanks to it having been reported
That it's Thursday at 10:30
And at 10:01 was when I quieted down

When I am being loud and tuning in
To the sound I hear
Strictly speaking, one can't Be loud
That is an adjectival quality
One can't Be loud
That One is an equivalent
Which can't capital letter "Be"
The way we use adjectives
Grammatically implying equivalence
I have to laugh
at the way i write attention
and did not communicate to a person on the other side
I feel I was rude and urged to apologize
I'm such a loud person
I'm so impolite

The thing about myself and the communities here
Is that I don't feel I have to be included in their lives
In the same way they resent me for not being included
In the same way I resent them for stepping in my business
When we don't trust each other
When we're not trustworthy
It's often probably easily solved by knowing one another other

It is too bad that where the line is drawn
Are 40 minutes of annoyed annoying noises
To be made at me in response
To me playing what is felt too loudly
And of course I can't be the judge
Of what's too loud for you
But how can you be the judge
Of what's the quietest, too quiet for me.

So neither of us gets what we fully want
and we don't learn to compromise
about what we want

If we ever learn I'm going to be thankful to you
And I'm going to bow and apologize and cry to you
And I'm going to stand upside stand beside to you
And I'm going to fight fight for you
And I'm going to try not to fight violently and hurtfully to other people
And little animal beings when I don't have to
Generally the animal being doesn't fight back
And generally we say that to hunt the hunter
Which is going to fight back against
You can be a little cruel

They got the meat, they got the fur
They got the tusks, they got the her
They got the him, they got the pronoun
They got the grammatically official pronoun being it
Not getting him or her in the technical definitions of our modern language
Is that the same as a secular definition?
Or is it just inaccurate?
No Nigel, No Nigel; It's a different emphasis
I'm a little baby baby
I've got fur behind my ears
I've got a little cat
Named Snippypippys
And I had a cat named Tintin
Of course I've got that cat
Always was my cat and naturally always is my cat
But he lives over at

What is that street?
The one that intersects North Street
What is that street?
The one that intersects South Street
What is that street
Where it's OK to smoke weed?
Where it's OK to have long hair
Where it's OK to be?
