lyrics

IS ON LOAN

Give an inch
Give a yard
You could take a mile
There's only so much pressure one can stand

Crack a joke
Crack a nut
Maybe crack a smile
The only judge to face will be your own
'Cause everything we have here is on loan

People in a rush on way to work
With their deadlines and their fears looking for a chance to win
But when the winning game is over and it's time to go to sleep
The world goes on as planned

Pay a bill
Pay your dues
You deserve a deal
Maybe there's a number you can call
Find a love
Find a home
Follow how you feel
It's only temporary then it's gone
Enjoy what you can grab, what you can loan

People in a rush on way to work
With their deadlines and their fears
Hoping for a chance to score
And some of them will probably worry that they're missing out on something
that'll gettem' through the line at heaven's door

Things could get much better
Gotta lighten' up the load
Things could get much better
Gotta take A selfless road
Things could get much better
Gotta lighten' up the load
Things could get much better
Gotta take A selfless road
Things could get much better
Gotta lighten' up the load
Things could get much better
GOTTA LIGHTEN UP THOSE  TOADS!

Time eats time
And nothing stays the same
But time....

Easter ride
Easter hay
I don't have a clue
I never got an answer on the phone
But we are here
Here and now and this what we do
Someday we will clear this safety zone
And see everything we have here is on loan

Yeah, everything we have here...
Everything we have here...

IS ON LOAN!

Gotta lighten up the load 'cause things would get much better
Gotta lighten up the load 'cause things would feel much better
Gotta lighten up the toads 'cause things would feel much better
