The Smartest Monkeys
Well man created the cardboard box to sleep in it
And man converted the newspaper to a blanket
Well you have to admit that hes come a long way
Since swinging about in the trees
Were the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger
This weve found
The smartest monkeys
Well man discovered the park bench can make a transition
And the rubbish tip makes a valid form of nutrition
With discoveries like these
Civilisation agrees
To give itself a pat on the back
Were the smartest monkeys
The evolutions plain to see
Were the dominant of the species
The smartest monkeys
We brought the caveman from the stoneage
To the subways of the modern world
How they pack so many in
Quick call the guinness book of records
Well you have to admit...
Were the smartest monkeys...

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all.
And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all.
The Critic
So what if what I say
so what if what I do
isn't what you wanted too
that doesn't justify you
tearing me down
with all that you say
it seems you only live
to doubt my every move
pretending like you always knew
but I don't care if you don't
like what you see
cause I'll do as I please
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
No matter where I am
no matter where I go
you never can leave me alone
you might as well just tell me
you're wasting your time
cause you're going to fail
and now I finally know
and now I finally see
the reason why you couldn't be
the person that you dreamed of
you gave it all up
well I won't do the same
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same, no
Leave me alone
I need more than room to grow
cause we're not the same
you treat my life like it's a game
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same
we're not the same

Learn How To Spell
Learn how to spell.
You will do better.
You will do well.
If you just take more time...
And learn how to spell.
Don't you wish to be understood?
Knowing a comprehension...
Has been received.
In the best way an understanding...
Could be achieved.
Learn how to spell.
You will do better.
You will do well.
If you just take more time...
And learn how to spell.
It's not difficult today,
To deliver your message...
In a correct way.
Consider a dictionary as your friend.
And refer to it often.
Not just on a whim.
With a skipping of a 'now'.
And delaying a 'then'.
If you want what you say,
Leave an impact your way?
Learn how to spell.
Do that today!

When It Hurts The Least
I will leave you with tears crawling down my face
I will leave and it will feel like moving to hell from grace
I will leave because i cannot bear your distance
I will leave because life just wont give us a chance
I will leave knowing i have done everything i could do
I will leave owning nothing but our memories and your photo
I will leave with the last bit of pride left in me
I will leave but first i will unlock my heart and set you free
I will leave and it will tear me apart not looking back
I will leave, wave goodbye and my life will slowly turn black
I will leave knowing i was the luckiest victim of your love
I will leave missing every kiss and touch and all i can no longer have
I will leave but i hope you know i am compelled to
I will leave but i will be devistated as i worshiped you
I will leave though it hurts like mad to be forbidden from your sight
I will leave but your lost reply will kill me when i summon you every night

It Aint No Big Thing
It ain't no big thing
A & n merrit/hall
You're losing interest in me, and it's showing.
It ain't not big thing but it's growing.
The pain of heartbreak i've just starting knowing.
It ain't not big thing but it's growing.
Everyday the hurt grows bigger than before.
But i'll pretend that i don't notice,
If i can hold you one day more.
You got the look of someone who is going.
You're gonna leave me and it's showing.
A little tear i can feel, start to flowing.
It ain't not big thing but it's growing.
You got the look of someone who is going.
You're gonna leave me and it's showing.
A little tear i can feel, start to flowing.
It ain't not big thing but it's growing.
It ain't not big thing but it's growing.

I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind.

Learn
when broken
learn
when happy
learn
when bored
learn
when you float and does not know what to do
learn just the same
when filled with idealism
learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender
for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again
and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,
now without even being told
you have become yourself
but still learn, learn, and learn again
because
you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

Where Do We Go From Here?
Thats the way love goes
Will it change you inside out
And then it flows
To the places unfamiliar yeah
Let me tell, Im not for you
Youre so hot for me
So get on girl
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Im hot for you
So get on
I want to get it on with you
Im sending
I hope you got the sense to read between the lines
You know that in the book it says that
For me you never seem to find the time
Come on Ive waited for your phonecalls
But you must be uptown having fun
When you do that thing you do
I get so exited too
But you never think to ask me if I want to
Come with you
So honey where do we go from here
You know baby
Ive been trying to find out but Im still
Some way from knowing
Come on, you know I am
Its not exactly clear, no no
The love you should be giving me
Is the love youre rarely showing
Thats the way love goes
Thats the way
Thats the way it goes for me and you
Come on let me tell you now
I feel youre pushing me out
Soon Im gonna lose my patience girl
Cant understand what youre about
Cause theres no communication
You say you love to love me, love to love me
But you always keep your distance
So honey strike me off your list
If your love comes with a twist
Cause I want the part that lingered on my lips when we first kissed
Say do you love me
If you do tell me something
And make it true
Do you love me
I need to know
Baby cant you tell me where were gonna go
Where do we go from here
Ive been trying to find out but Im still some way from knowing
Its not exactly clear no no
The love you should be giving me
Is the love youre rarely showing
Thats the, thats the way love goes
And where its taking us well we dont know
So lets move straight on ahead
And tow in the line between us girl
I think Id sooner make this love dead
Than waste all my time on you, yeah
Im wasting all my time
Im gonna learn learn learn
Thats the way love goes
Thats the way
Its gonna hurt me so bad
But I wont let it show
I get the feeling that its gonna
Tear out my mind till I can no longer breath
I know Im gonna learn learn learn
Thats the way love goes
Where do we go from here?
Ive been trying to find out but Im still some way from knowing
Its not exactly clear
The love you should be giving me
Is the love youre rarely showing
Hey but thats the way love goes now
You know thats the way love goes
Im so hot for you
Im so hot for you
Im so hot for you

That Understanding of indebtedness,
Duality that come as parents,
relatives and friends,
all may be produce of nondual,
Let SELF be duty bound,
Gratitude is gratification, That never stop one from peace
and spreading love!
Be grateful to all who has
worked according to divine
plan,
Be grateful to toys that taught what this eternal play of
nondual eternal,
It is true,
Ramdas has learnt that
gratefulness is wakefulness,
awareness of dreamful existence,
yet you have so many thing to
learn,
Learn Ramdas with all,
From all with love and
gratitude!
Gratitude leads to love,
Love that transformed every
atoms of me,
Transformed structure and
properties,
So that He and His love, Come in my way as friends,
Like rays of Sun,
Even as my enemies like dark
clouds covering the Sun! Only transform me into,
Precious ornament,
Precious stones embedded into
engraved precious metal,
Nay, precious virtues,
Embedded in talented loving heart! namaste to you and all! ♥ Knowing Love is knowing
God,
♥ Knowing God is Knowing Self,
♥ Knowing Self is Dawn of
knowledge,
♥ Dawn of knowledge leads to wisdom infinite!

To My Grown-up Daughter
I wish you hadn't grown up just yet.
Things were so much easier
when I could fight your dragons for you,
and you thought I was the smartest mom
in the whole wide world.
Back then, I could kiss away the hurt,
create the Tickle Monster to chase the blues,
and I understood your homework.
But you're a woman now,
grown up with a job of your own.
All I can do now is offer advice-
and hope you don't roll your eyes,
or give me that look.
You don't think I'm the smartest mom
in the whole wide world anymore.
Damn, I wish you hadn't grown up yet.

The One Thing About Knowing
The one thing about knowing,
Is its ability not to be undone.
Once something is known,
An acknowledgement of it...
To others become easily shown.
And that knowledge shown,
May come to show others despising it.
Depending on who sees what one has,
As a lasting benefit.
Since those who are not afraid of knowledge,
Feel freer to leave behind their ignorance.
The one thing about knowing,
Whether or not it is documented...
Is its ability not to be undone.
Once something is known,
An acknowledgement of it...
To others become easily shown.
And few are found to run away,
From its presence or existence.

High & Dry
two jumps in a week i bet you think that's pretty clever don't you
boy.
flying on your
motorcycle.
watching all the ground beneath you
drop.
you'd kill yourself for recognition.
kill yourself to
never
ever
stop.
you broke another mirror.you're turning into something you are not.
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk.
all your insides fall to pieces.
you just sit there
wishing
you
could
still
make
love.
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world
all sussed out.
they're the ones who'll spit at you.
you will be the one
screaming
out.
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
it's the best thing that you ever had.
The best thing you've had is gone away.
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry

Do You Know
Written by billy burnette and christine mcvie.
Do you know
All there is to know about love
And if you do
Then let me know
If I have learned enough
To make it without you
Can I learn
All about love
I dont know enough to make it alone
Well I can leave it just the way it was
I can try
Im gonna try
And if I fall
If I ever fall in love again
I hope I will feel the same
Can I learn
All about love
I dont know enough to make it alone
Well I can leave it just the way it was
I can try
Do you know a

All about love
Do you know enough to make it alone

Let me try
Well I can leave it just the way it was

Well I can leave it just the way it was

Uh-oh, Love Comes To Town
Wait, wait for the moment to come
Stand up, stand up and take my hand
Believe, believe in mystery
Love love love love is simple as 1-2-3
Im a know-it-all, Im smartest man around
Thats right, you learn real fast through the smartest girl in town
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you were really smart, youd know what to do
When...
Jump back, sit back, get back, relax
Its ok
Ive called in sick I wont go to
Work today
Id rather be with the
One I love
I neglect my duties, I be in trouble but
Ive been to college, Ive been to school
Ive met the people that you read about in books
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you were really smart youd know what to do when I say
Jet pilot gone out of control, ship captain on the ground
Stock broker make a bad investment when love has come to town
Where, where is my common sense?
How...did I get in a jam like this?
Believe, I believe in mystery
Love, love love love is simple as 1-2-3
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you were really smart, youd know what to do when I say
Why am I going out of my head, whenever youre around?
The answer is obvious, love has come to town
