A poppy track full of the irritating cliches that people seem to spout when things are going wrong.
This song would later be retooled in a completely different style by drunkdude69 on their debut album "Funk Out With Your Junk Out"
lyrics
And when you think it all over
And you decide you can’t go on
Just another day older
And nowhere is as far as you have gone
And everybody’s got advice
That starts to sound like stuff
You’ve already heard a thousand times
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
True wisdom only comes from pain
Crawl your way up to the top and
Someone will be waiting there to knock you off
And then you've gotta get back on that horse again
And when you’re clean and sober
And realize you’ve had enough
So much weight on your shoulders
And no one told you life would be so rough
And everything that people say
Is rearranged and paraphrased, but still an old cliché
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
God works His will in mysterious ways
And everything is for the best
And if you ask me, I might suggest
Your luck is bound to change (because)
Every cloud has a silver lining
Good things come to those who wait
All you need is a little timing
It’ll work out, you know it’s never too late
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
True wisdom only comes from pain
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
God works His will in mysterious ways
And everything is for the best
And if you ask me, I might suggest
I tell you once again
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
God works His will in mysterious ways
And everything is for the best
And if you ask me, I might suggest
You don't listen to a word I say
