Sweet Insanity

All my life i've been runnin' scared
Feelin' shut out, no one cared
Not my mother, not my brother
Crazy beatings by my father
A-ooh a-ooh

Music's been my saving grace
Been my ticket to a better place
Brought me riches, brought me fame
Many people know my name
A-ooh a-ooh

My old friends who knew me when
Say "brian you've come a long, long way"
Thank you, thank you wo wo-o-o-oh

My cousins say i ain't the same
Criticize i change my game
They're not happy 'cause i'm different
More creative, independent
A-ooh a-ooh

My old friends who knew me when
Say "brian you've come a long, long way"
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you

I've decided to change and grow
Taste the new and release the old
Those who love me, they know i'm tryin'
Livin' brave instead of dyin'
A-ooh a-ooh

I've decided to change and grow
Taste the new and release the old
Those who love me, they know i'm tryin'
Livin' brave instead of dyin'
A-ooh a-ooh

Once upon a time
Not too long ago
Change was in the air
Strangers smiled hello
Love is at the park
Flowers in our hair
Music our password
People really cared
Unafraid to try
Opened up our minds
Reached for the sky
Saw god all around
Future limitless
Made a joyous sound

Don't let your youthful dreams and vision fade away
Dust off your wild ideals and come on out and play
The power of love still can help us save the day

Save the day

Lennon said it best
Let's give peace a chance
Turn the other cheek
Practice tolerance
So we left the beach
Tried to end the war
We marched for peace
Good vibrations
Shook the status quo
We rocked the nation
Wo wo

Don't let your youthful dreams and vision fade away
Dust off your wild ideals and come on out and play
The power of love still can help us save the day

Help us save the day

Hang on to hope
We need our dreams
Don't let them crush you
Stay alive
Stay alive
Stay alive
Greed is a bad thing
Fills you up with hate
Pollution's killing us
Hope it's not too late
Let's renew our vow
Up to me and you
Time to change is now
Rise above the crowd
Register and vote
Speak your mind out loud

Don't let your youthful dreams and vision fade away
Dust off your wild ideals and come on out and play
The power of love still can help us save the day

Wo

Don't let your youthful dreams and vision fade away
Dust off your wild ideals and come on out and play
The power of love still can help us save the day

Saw you dancin' friday night
Your legs burned up the floor
The way you move's against the law
In 30 states or more
I cut in, asked to dance
The band blasted rock and roll
Wo wo wo help me i'm losing
Losing all control

You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
When i look into your eyes
My temperature starts to rise
You're making me hotter
Baby baby i'm burnin' up

Now i'm so cold i freeze like ice
The chicks dig my vanity
Thought it was your lucky night
You'd won a chance with me
Dancin' with you in my arms
I'm sweatin' from your heat
Wo wo wo help me i'm fallin'
You knock me off my feet

You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
When i look into your eyes
My temperature starts to rise
You're making me hotter
Baby baby i'm burnin' up

Hotter, hotter than a lightning bolt
Hotter, hotter than a million volts

I bend down to kiss your lips
(they're fresh from your hot lead??)
Somethin' happens, somethin' new
Somethin' hot and sweet
What's wrong with me
I feel so strange
Like nothin' i've ever felt
My brain's on fire
My soul's in flames
This iceman's gonna melt

You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter
You're making me hotter

Country feelins they're a-callin me
And brother i'm feelin' fine
Wanna cut loose from the city
Get out and run around
Country feelin's movin' in
My feet are dancin' in the hot sunshine
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town

Country feelin's at a county fair
And under a big blue sky
See those bright birds fly
Cotton candy and apple pie
Country feelin's puttin' me on top of the world
On this happy day
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town

Country, country feelin'
Country, country feelin'
Country, country feelin'
Wo wo oh-oh

Country feelin's they got me sittin'
Right there in a rockin' chair
On a porch outside with a cold lemonade in the
Clean fresh air
Stand up tall be proud of yourself
And you just step out there
I'm gonna spread those country feelin's all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town

The memories still hold us together
No matter if we're young or old
As long as there's music we'll all live forever
In the spirit of rock and roll

Once it's in your blood
You won't be the same no more
Reaching every land
From l.a. to tokyo
It's in the heart of every boy and girl
Everywhere all around the world

The spirit (the spirit) the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock n roll
The spirit (the spirit) the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock n roll

You know chuck, buddy, and elvis paved the road
The roots are deep inside us
It's the rythm in our soul
Now it's the heart that's behind the beat
The only sound that is complete

The spirit (the spirit) the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock n roll
The spirit (the spirit) the spirit (the spirit)
The spirit of rock n roll

Can you hear it
Rockin' to the beachy type the spirit
The spirit the spirit
It's in the heart of every boy and girl
Everywhere around the world

So many times i've had that hopeless feeling
And no kind of booze or medicine helped at all
I'm drowning in too many contradictions
I'm about to lose all my self control

Water builds up
Water boils over
Gettin' too hot
The pot's starting to whistle
Running over the edge
Steaming up my aching head
The water getting higher
There's a dam bursting in my soul

Too many no's when i really needed yes for an answer
Too many times on my sad and lonely way
Feels are comin' in, pressure building up too quickly
Working hard all day, never any time to play

Water builds up
Water boils over
Gettin' too hot
The pot's starting to whistle
It's running over the edge
It's steaming up my aching head
The water getting higher
There's a dam bursting in my soul

Buildin' up inside of me
Deep down inside workin' free
Buildin' up deep inside
Buildin' up, i hope it (sighs??)

Water builds up
Water boils over
Gettin' too hot
The pot's starting to whistle
It's running over the edge
It's steaming up my aching head
The water getting higher
There's a dam bursting in my soul

Water builds up
Water boils over
Gettin' too hot
The pot's starting to whistle
It's running over the edge
It's steaming up my aching head
The water getting higher
There's a dam bursting in my soul

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee
My name is brian and i'm the man
I write hit songs with a wave of my hand
Songs of surf and sun and sand
I make great music with my band
Songs you dance to and songs of joy
I'm the original beach boy

Everybody's gone surfin' surfin usa

All the songs i used to write
Talked about girls who weren't too bright
Round round get around i got around
What i was lookin' for i never found
As time goes on i've seen the light
Intelligent chicks are dynamite

When i grow up to be man
Giddy-up giddy-up 409

Now some guys like the flashy types
And some guys dig the ugly types
I'm no different from the rest
I love hips and legs and breasts
But strictly on a higher plane
What really turns me on's her brain

Smart girls, talkin' 'bout smart girls
Sexy legs with high iqs
Smart girls, i love the smart girls
You brainy babes with your attitudes

Smart smart smart smart girls

Did i love you little surfer girl
Or was it just your bod and long blonde curls
Fun fun fun was all we heard
Cruisin' in her daddy's thunderbird
Ba ba ba ba barbara ann
She ran away with another man

This is the worst trip
Help me, rhonda
Get her out of my heart

Rhonda helped helped, helped me for a while
Not much going on behind her smile
I wanna hot hot, massive stimulation
Women with more imagination
Yeah smart girls are my inspiration
Given me
Good good good good vibrations

Wouldn't it be nice
If they gave phds
For strokin' me with hypotheses
Gimme a gal who teaches school
Who's not afraid to break the rules
Women doctors and lawyers, too
Can really make a man out of you

Smart girls, talkin' 'bout smart girls
Sexy legs with high iqs
Smart girls, i love the smart girls
You brainy babes with your attitudes

Smart smart smart smart girls

Smart girls
Wish they all could be
Smart girls
Rhyme in poetry
A clever head is a real turn-on
You bright, you brainy amazons
Authors, scientists, and architechts
Sultry babes with intellect

Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out

God only knows what i'd be
Without smart girls
Hip hop and harmony
I'm wiser now, i know where it's at
Intelligence is an aphrodisiac
So if you're seekin' that perfect mate
Listen to brian, beauty's great but

Smart girls, talkin' 'bout smart girls
Sexy legs with high iqs
Smart girls, i love the smart girls
You brainy babes with your attitudes

Big brains are awesome, dude

Smart smart smart smart girls

Smart girls, talkin' 'bout smart girls
Sexy legs with high iqs
Smart girls, i love the smart girls
You brainy babes with your attitudes

I wanna congratulate you
You were just fine
