With the Olympics still going on, it would make sense to keep the Olympic theme going with today’s Sunday Song Lyric. Believe it or not, there aren’t many Olympic-themed – or even sports themed – songs wit h lyrics worth posting. (I know, I know, that’s never stopped me before . . . ). In any event, the Hives have a new album out, Tyrannosaurus Hives. The album is a strong follow-up to the Swendish quintet’s smash debut. Among the more amusing songs is “Dead Quote Olympics,” written (like all of the songs on album) by Randy Fitzsimmons — and it keeps the Olympic-theme going (well, kinda).
The Dead Quote Olympics
Can’t make an omelette without breaking an egg
And I can’t make a headache if I don’t aim at the head
You had enough of their thoughts have your own
The you wouldn’t have to be such a clone
That just won’t get you nowhere, you thought it would?
The Dead Quote Olympics
This time you’ve really got something it’s such a clever idea
But it doesn’t mean it’s good `cause you found it at the library
Yes they were smart but they are dead
And you’re repeating al that they said
You know it don’t make you cleaver like you thought it would
The Dead Quote Olympics
It’s on! You won! I’m done!
You didn’t read between the lines so it won’t do you any good it’s true
And that moment that you live for it doesn’t live for you
When weekends set standard and pace
We are all showered in books and berets
And that will just get you nowhere, who thought it would?
