I used to walk through this world
Cautious, and oh so serious
Till the life I was living was nearly, a near death experience
But I changed my story, when I finally saw
Where I was wasn’t where it was at
And now I’m alive, I let destiny drive
And I’m stretching out in the back
If I lose my job
I’ll sleep till noon
If the news is bad
I’ll watch cartoons
And if my house burns down
I’ll have lots more room
And a much better view of the moon
In the vastness of space
The ever expanding universe
Wе are all puny specks of galactic dust
Herе on Mother Earth
Now I ain’t no preacher
Don’t know if I’ll reach ya
But here is some humble advice
Use your uncommon sense
And you surely will live
An uncommonly sensible life
If you lose your job
Sleep till noon
If the news is bad
Watch cartoons
And if your house burns down
You’ll have lots more room
And a much better view of the moon
Now I ain’t no preacher
Don’t know if I’ll reach ya
But here is some humble advice
Use your uncommon sense
And you surely will live
An uncommonly sensible life
If you lose your job
Sleep till noon
If the news is bad
Watch cartoons
And if your house burns down
You’ll have lots more room
And a much better view of the moon
If I lose my job
I’ll sleep till noon
If the news is bad
I’ll watch cartoons
And if my house burns down
I’ll have lots more room
And a much better view of the moon
Yeah a much better view
Of the moon
