Use Some Sense

8/12/16 Can't reverse any clock or the hands of time Once in a blue moon, stars or planets align Doing my best to be a stand-up guy I'd be damned to lie I'd rather take a chance and climb Among so many plants and pines Always tried to be a good samaritan And grew up American Lived an hours drive from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Moms is a veterinarian Neither one of us has ever been a vegetarian I don't understand why so many people display arrogance And continue making comparisons In certain areas are traces of Barium As well as pieces of carrion Certain times called for the use of a clarion Near and far away from places considered agrarian During war, some rode on chariots And conducted the first trials of their experiments No time for foolishness Wiser to always do my best Anywhere not just from here to Budapest Who'd have guessed? There'd be soon success If they'd only use some sense While many snooze and rest Underneath the moon and jets
