Vienna Teng - Grandmother Song |

[00:08.00] |
|
[00:09.47] |
oh girl you think you got time |
[00:11.95] |
you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
[00:14.49] |
but one step, two step, you fall behind |
[00:16.82] |
so you better have a good plan |
[00:18.74] |
|
[00:19.49] |
oh girl you think you got time |
[00:21.44] |
you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
[00:23.58] |
but I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind |
[00:26.09] |
you're still gonna need a man |
[00:27.85] |
|
[00:28.67] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
[00:37.71] |
no one's gonna take care of you |
[00:39.71] |
in that world you've got yourself into |
[00:41.80] |
all the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school |
[00:46.38] |
|
[00:47.29] |
oh girl your story's all wrong |
[00:49.48] |
your dream'll be a nightmare before too long |
[00:51.69] |
turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs |
[00:53.96] |
come on who do you think you are |
[00:55.96] |
|
[00:56.72] |
oh girl it's too heavy a load |
[00:58.73] |
your mama and your baba they are worried souls |
[01:01.01] |
how you gonna raise a family when you're on the road |
[01:03.22] |
with some tattooed boy with a guitar |
[01:05.23] |
|
[01:06.10] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
[01:14.77] |
this music career isn't real life |
[01:17.05] |
it won't see you through to when you're sixty-five |
[01:19.50] |
when the tide turns you won't survive |
[01:22.42] |
you'll sit on the banks and cry |
[01:32.99] |
|
[01:50.58] |
oh girl you've never know war |
[01:54.03] |
when they come in the night and knock on the door |
[01:56.12] |
you can go from the high life to dirty poor |
[01:58.52] |
and lose everything you knew |
[02:00.74] |
|
[02:01.48] |
but the one thing they can't take away from you |
[02:03.62] |
is your mind and the education you've been through |
[02:05.80] |
o you find a man who understands that too |
[02:07.96] |
make sure that he stays true |
[02:11.52] |
gives respect where its due |
[02:13.96] |
make sure he knows what he's got in you |
[02:18.11] |
|
[02:18.91] |
because a woman isn't just for cooking meals |
[02:21.29] |
scrubbing floors, making babies |
[02:23.69] |
a woman's got ambitions same as he does |
[02:26.17] |
maybe more |
[02:27.77] |
|
[02:28.40] |
when the sirens wailed and the bombs fell |
[02:30.80] |
we ran from the schoolyard into hell |
[02:32.89] |
and what we could've been time will never tell |
[02:34.92] |
'cause we never had your chances |
[02:37.39] |
the advantages that you've been handed |
[02:44.28] |
|
[03:10.56] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
[03:20.63] |
