build a bridge (live - thirsty merc live!) - thirsty merc lyrics

[intro]
we wanna say a huge thank** this has been an absolute crazy night, i mean, y’know, every night is so different, and that’s why live music is the best way to take it in. i tell you what, you can listen to records all you like… but honestly, we couldn’t have done any of this tour, or the previous three on our last album, or the previous f*ckin’ how many, i don’t even know how many we done now, i’ve lost count. but we couldn’t have done any of this without you guys, for all your support over the last fifteen years – that’s a decade and a half, everyone. think about it, it’s a long time, so thank you so much for sticking with us. it is a war of attrition. i’ll tell you what, it’s like that in any line of work, anything you’re passionate about, any relationship any friendship. stick with it, work at it, get through the hard times, cause there’s gonna be ’em, there’s gonna be ’em. but anyway, just wanted to say thanks so much, it means the world to us. we’ve got thirsty mercandise over here – t*shirts; mel from shepparton, she’s here. and uh, yeah, we’re just gonna be hanging out after this, so we’d love to say thanks in person, come say g’day. anyway, that’s enough from me, gonna play this song now

[verse 1]
munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on friday
cruising down the pacific highway
thinkin’ ’bout the day ahead

i paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
if those two don’t overthrow me the dogs will
but heck, at least i know the taste of bread
why do i seem to spend my whole d*mn life chasing paper?
i’m like an actor*turned*singer*turned*waiter
i’ll wait around until i meet with my maker
then i’ll sign up for aa or something

[pre*chorus]
i just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
this little strip of earth and all that i’ve done there
i’m like a bull ant on the leg of the sunchair
under a magnifying glass

[chorus]
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my time

[verse 2]
i take a phone call on the mobile while i’m checkin’ the meter
one sec, i need to turn up that little speaker
it’s getting noisy in this little town

we’re like america, we love to make a hoo out of jack sh*t
i never ever really seemed to fit
but now i’m stuck so deep in all of this

come to think of it i might as well be travelling backwards
it’s been an hour and i’m only in ringwood
i hate the way that i’m becoming a product
go pick me up for $24.95
[pre*chorus]
i’m on sale and it’s retail in the world of deception
you can treat a man if he can’t get erections
is there a pill for my lack of direction?
thanks mate, i’ll have a pack of those

[chorus]
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my time
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m losing my mind
yeah, alright!

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
it’s all good, i got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
i can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
outta sight, outta mind

i’ll keep on going until i’m pushing 30 or 40
and as long as i don’t do something naughty
i love my wife, what a life
[bridge]
she comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
i’ve popped a whole lot of pills and i’m shaking
and there’s a needle stickin’ out of my arm, i ain’t fakin’, i’m zoning in and zoning out

you wanna help me, don’t call me an ambulance, honey
just get a silver service cab, this is funny
just one passenger, please, going up my own ass
do you take credit card? f*ck this!

i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m, on my own i’m
on my own i’m chasing my life
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m alright (let’s do it!)
