[Verse One: Adan Bean]
Ladies and gentlemen, senior citizens
Bitter sworn enemies and fair-weather friends
If you're attractively challenged or a perfect ten
The seasoned saints or those who need to repent
To the highly recommended or the socially dependent
And for every single band with the same name, Remnant
To our six avid fans who actually pay attention
To every line and single sentence let's not forget to mention
Those on Simpson Road or in frozen Ohio's cold weather
West coast, folks in Switzerland, I hope
Those London blokes, plus the yuppie punk hipsters
The cool kids, soccer moms, ma'am, miss, misters
When the carpenter comes, he will only pardon some
So I sharpen my tongue to shed light on darkened slums
Musical martyrdom for all my hard hearted ones
We love each of y'all the same and proclaim with both lungs:
[Chorus: All]
Yes, my dear it's that time of year
When the sun rises to provide some cheer
When the skies take pride in remaining clear
And The Remnant swears you ain't got nothing to fear
Oh yes my dear, it's that time of year
When the sun rises to provide some cheer
When the skies take pride in remaining clear
And I don't care as long as you're right here
Right here, oh yes
[Verse Two: Tribe One]
WTFWJD, OK I'm gonna do my best to make the kool-aid sweet
I'm tryin' to run a new direction up a two way street
Wherever you may be, that's where I wanna go
Raps on the tracks puttin' cracks into solid oak
We snatchin' the facts to give back to the common folk
We laugh when it's not a joke, 'cause that's when it's wanted most
Some life lessons you can't pass on the honor roll
So, be happy with your C minus
And rewind this every time you need some reminders
It'll be fine, just keep your long johns on
Here's another swan song from some non-Don Juans
Dedicated to y'all when the odds don't stack up
In your favor and you have bad luck, 'cause that sucks
Hands up if you've ever been the one that they bet against
Well they were wrong and we're the evidence
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: Just John]
Yessir! And I've gotta say
Today is one of those days
Where everything's freakin' awesome!
"Okay" is a grave understatement
You have but to gaze at the birds and the bees and the blossoms
To feel it, the peace and inertia
Smilin' like that guy on them ED commercials (ting!)
BIG RESULTS activated by your attitude
If you figure folks are mostly haters maybe mad at you then
Don't put that on your job app, or you won't a call-back
Heartbroken, eatin' a mall rat
Fight the urge to unite the nerds and shoot the school (Revenge!)
Jesus loves you and your mom probably thinks you're cool
And even if she doesn't, we do, remember Remnant needs you
And not just to purchase our music (cha-ching!)
To locate your purpose and use it
If today's less than perfect since you heard this, you can improve it
