I LIVE TO SERVE! (fast ska/punk)

Composed by, John J

A

You may be sinnin’

But I’m in it to win it!

I got all the tricks, shit!

I’m the one who can fix it!

When I come for your curve

You better not swerve!

Man have I hit a nerve!

Baby I LIVE TO SERVE! YO!

Bm

We’re only as sick as our secrets, man

I’m more than the sum of my defects, man

To you it seems I am just a reject, man

So honey let me tell you a secret, man

You’re always thinking just of yourself, oh no!

But you’re just another book on the shelf, oh yes!

Until you realize you are blessed, I said

Your problems are the key to success, what what?

A

I live to serve!

Man have I hit a nerve!

You better not swerve

When I come for your curve!

I’m the one who can fix it!

I got all the tricks, shit!

You may be sinnin’

But I’m in it to win it TWO TIMES!

Bm

Calling all the kittens and cats (meow purr)

Where we are is right where we’re at (hiss)

You think it’s like this but it’s really like that

Gimme my Lithium stat!

So busy worrying’ ‘bout tomorrow oh no

Or thinking all about your mistakes

I see you sitting there in your sorrow

Come on get up your ass you must shake WOO WOO

D

Ask not what your life can do for you

But rather what can you do for your life

Put aside all of your worry and boo hoo

Who cares if you don’t got a wife

I read it in a book someone gave me

That nobody was comin’ to save me

So I flipped to the end

Until I had no more friends

And like a flag everybody did wave me

A

You may be sinnin’

But I’m in it to win it!

I got all the tricks, shit!

I’m the one who can fix it!

You better not swerve

When I come for your curve!

Man have I hit a nerve?!

I live to serve!

AMEN!
