Mike Love - I'm Ready lyrics

[Verse 1] Gone are the days of playing charades and telling stories by the campfire These are the times when no one unwinds and the day that you die is when you retire And minimum wage is just what you'll take, even at your age, just to get hired They got you by the balls so when the boss calls you You better come running Pick up the slack and get off your a** and take out the trash little brother And if you can't there's always someone who can and you'll get the can brother It's a f**ed up system Got you by the throat again Like a sheep in a pen I don't wanna be 75 years old Still doing as I'm told Flipping burgers at the McDonalds drive thru Would you? [Chorus] I wanna live where the ocean meets the sand and hand in hand we'll be dancing And I will be where the skyline meets the trees Do as I please Waste my days away [Verse 2] Hey brother what do you say Lets go out and play Cause every day is so precious And all the money you spend don't matter in the end when all your possessions are crumbling to dust and pollution Only an illusion Never everlasting Love Rise above and break the cycle Take the control Wake up your soul So many of us afraid of it but what are we waiting for Won't you wake up your soul [Chorus] I wanna live where the ocean meets the sand and hand in hand we'll be dancing And I will be where the skyline meets the trees Do as I please Waste my days away [Verse 3] Cause all this life that we lose along the way won't fade to gray Won't be wasted And all this Love that is living in our souls will overflow Wash the pain away I'm ready [Verse 4] I'm ready For the rain to fall For the flood to rise To manifest all the wisdom left by my ancestors I'm ready For the rain to fall For the flood to rise To take the lead and sow the seeds of our future I'm ready For the rain to fall For the flood to rise For the sun to shine and realign all our hearts and spirits I'm ready For the rain to fall For the flood to rise To sing the song of my heart for all who will hear it I'm ready
