lyrics

Someday

Parkin' lot, full on a friday
Standin' in line at the bank baby
Tryin' to cash one weeks pay
I meet an old friend
Talk over what's new
Grab a beer with the guys and I'll go drive out to see you

Well you look bored sugar, starin' at the TV
Turn your head when I hold you
Ya don't wanna kiss me
You say that you're fed up, tired of stayin' home at night
You wish you had a new boy
Someone to give you everything you think is gonna make it alright

Chorus

Don't turn and walk away
You might just regret it baby someday
Someday

We used to have fun honey, without doin' too much
Seemed like long as we were there together
That'd be plenty for us
But now you're feelin' angry, had your fill of scrapin'
Wishin' you was high brow baby
Walk around actin' cool, and make like you're escapin'

Chorus

Don't turn and walk away
You might just regret it baby someday
Please listen, to what I say
You might just regret it baby someday
Someday



Dress Code

Seems like everywhere ya go the lines are bein' drawn
People scratchin' out a livin', barely hangin' on
Cafes are stuffed full of the groovy crowd
Doin' things they think are gonna turn the world around
Lust and greed is at an all time high
Pay the cover charge and kiss your ass good bye

Chorus

Let's go!
Drop the dress code
Baby don't you know we're all floatin' in the same damn boat
Stand up naked for the world to see
Baybe we can shake a little history

Nobody buys a house to live in anymore
They just buy it, fix it, flip it, then they rake in the dough
Surround themselves with everything they think is real
A single mom can't put down a decent meal
People out in the street, with nowhere to go
It's your own hometown, baby don't ya know

Chorus

Let's go!
Drop the dress code
I'm sick and tired of that monkey standin' at the door
Tellin' me I ain' got the right kind of pants
Tellin' me I can' t come in and dance

God gave us a brain, gave us a soul
But somewhere down the line the soul got sold
To the big time owner of a discoteque
Who don't let you in, unless you look hip
But the common man's comin' baby any day
You better let him in or there's hell to pay

Chorus

Let's go!
Drop the dress code
Baby don't ya know we're all floatin' in the same damn boat
Stand up naked for the world to see
Maybe we can shake a little history
Put your hand in mine, let's go see
Cause sooner or later
You gotta dance with me
Drop the dress code!
