about

Composer Glen Foster, Parent Publishing SOCAN

lyrics

I wasn’t trying not to be nice
I wasn’t lying through eyes of ice
I didn’t mean to be mean
Didn’t mean to be seen to cause a scene
My intentions were entirely innocent
If sometimes too intense – Intentional

Elley Mae is getting married today
Best man eyes the pretty bride’s maid
Reverend John Brown has advice to give
On whom you honor and how to live
Bride and Groom exchange their vows
They’re solemn yet somehow – Intentional

Well a white queen reigns in LaLa Land
Black king rules with a velvet hand
Bishopsgate is closed today
Pawns have nothing nice to say
Knight falls on a crooked rook
Checkmate clearly looks – Intentional

Well I read the headlines and I hear the news
Some little princess somewhere has the blues
There’s a hurricane here and a flood over there
I see somebody who don’t have a coin to spare

Now Raszul goes to school and learns the golden rule
Bobby gets a job ‘cause he’s nobody’s fool
Miss Beecher is the teacher and she knows what’s right
Allan’s in the alleyway learning to fight
The principal wonders what she’ll wear tonight
Her demeanor is a might - Intentional

But the bus boy slaves at the kitchen sink
Manager tells him he’s not paid to think
Server smiles out on the floor
Maitre de waits at the door
Sonny counts the money ‘cause he’s a whiz
Believes his business is – Intentional

So I sum the numbers and I scan the scores
Tells me that it don’t add up no more
Sky’s the limit, can’t find the floor
Deeper in debt and the deficits soar

Well the milkman’s horse just plods along
He’s hauling his load and he’s mighty strong
Not in a hurry to get nowhere
He’s got a bag of oats and not a care
Knows his route and he never stops
And anything that he drops – is Intentional

Now there’s rats in the road and they’re running a race
They got chains and clubs and a can of mace
Missiles fly higher than I can duck
And there’s a homemade bomb in a pickup truck
Well I’m ready to rumble just don’t touch my face
The prosecutor builds his case – he’s Intentional

So the Senate sits stately on parliament hill
With great purpose they propose to pass their bill
They debate all day but they don’t decide
And dissolve resolved to let it slide
There’s one point on which they’re all agreed
Their disagreement is indeed – Intentional

Luthor and Superman even the score
Flash and The Phantom fight on the floor
Batman and Spiderman swing from the sky
God loves us all I don’t understand why

Now the folksinger rambles out another song
He just strums his guitar he isn’t right or wrong
His war cry is to change the world
With peace and love and a flag unfurled
He’s the author of his own destiny
His lyric is comically - Intentional

And I’m intoxicated with this hullabaloo
I’m afraid to stop I don’t know what I’d do
I only know I want to be next to you
Living in the Light with your love too
And if I wake up in the morning happy being me
I’m going to get up out of bed and be – Intentional
Yes if I wake up in the morning happy being me
I’m going to jump up out of bed and be – Intentional
