Awesome song. Nice, mellow reggae groove. I got a chance to
see DHC in concert and they played this song. Great show and
cool song to skank to.

LYRICS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
They said you led your life with a well mannered state of mind
They said that you kept your eyes forward
and your feet were held by no bind
They said you were good for me, but I just
can't see how they were ever right
I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thought
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
You said that in all the world there were
only two things you despised
The first was a coward and the second one was a liar
You said that honesty was your policy, but that in itself is a lie
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds
You may call me ambitious, but I don't see
how there's any other way to be
Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DANCE HALL CRASHERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
