Paper Lanterns (Live at Woodstock 1994)

Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone, and now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now and then, I'll see you again
And it puts my heart to the test

So, when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day, I'm asking why I still think about you

As the days go on, I wonder
Will this ever end?
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am is
Just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too

So, when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day, I'm asking why I still think about you

This isn't public peace, it's fucking anarchy

Hey, look at me, I'm a fucking idiot

Alright
Everybody on this side say, "Rock 'n' Roll"
(Rock 'n' Roll!)
Everybody on this side, say, "Shut the fuck up"
(Shut the fuck up!)
Rock 'n' Roll!
(Rock 'n' Roll!)
Shut the fuck up!
Rock 'n' Roll!
Shut the fuck up!

We're not gonna take it
(No, we ain't gonna take it)
(We're not gonna take it, anymore)

You gotta fight
Ole!

Future idiot!
Walk away walk away, walk away walk away!
Hey, where's Amy, I have to hit him in the head with a guitar
Alright everybody
Shhh, be quiet, be very quiet
Don't shh-, don't say a word, just be quiet

You're fucking turning everybody into a mud head
I'm not going to become a mud hippie, I don't care what you say
I don't care what you do
I don't wanna be a mud hippie
But I do
Ladies and gentleman, Wavy Clavy
He's not a hippie, he's a punk rocker
These idiots, just like you guys

Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll
Shut the fuck up
Hey, everybody say, "Shut the fuck up" and we'll stop playing
Hey, one, two, three
(Shut the fuck up!)
Okay, we're done, goodbye
