Cannon Song Lyrics

Cannon Song

"How you doin' bert?
"Wel, not so good Charlie. My back's gone out
and I cut my finger kinda
gnarly. The job's the same and so's the boss. He's
still a big ass and my
wallet got lost. My wife's sick in bed she says she'll
never get well and
all these kids today have  gone to hell and all that
government paperwork
caught up with me, had to hire a beancounter for an
outrageous fee. And I
don7t know if the chicken or the egg is to blame, but
all things
considered, I guess I can't complain..."
"Cheer
up," Charlies said, "things could be worse."
"Well,
yeah, I know, but did I tell you that my landlord's a cop, my
neighbor's
insane, but all things considered, I guess I can't
compalin..."
CHORUS
Out on the water
Where the sailing men all
go
The water's high while all the fish swim low
"You know what
Bert," Charlie said, "you got the wrong attitude. Sometimes
life's
a big game and  tthe paths you can choose. Things may go wrong, but
ya gotta
stand tall."
"Well I know," Bert said, "but well...that
ain't all. My hair's falling
out, the roof leaks when it rains, but all 
things considered, I guess I
can't complain..."
CHORUS
"You
know what Bert," Charlie said, "you're a real loser, so I'll see
you
next week if you live 'til then."
And a Bert walked out on the
sidewalk, ten floors up, two men lost control
of a hoist at just the right
time, and a big Steinway grand flattened
Bert like a dime. And as a crowd
gathered 'round and asked, what was his
name? and could it be the chicken or
the egg to blame/ Well, the only
thing heard was that all  things considered,
he really couldn't complain.
So if you're a loser in life and your gun's out
of ammo, just remember
this story about Bert and the piano. 'Cause if you
can7t string the bow
and you're clean out of resin, someone may have planned
for you a music
lesson. So keep your eyes to the sky, it could be a brand
name, and
remember all things considered, you really can't
complain....
