To Keep from Squinting on a Sunny Day

from Basement Songs by Teen Idle

/

lyrics

To keep from squinting on a sunny day
Just put your hand across your brow
It’ll do you good
Blocking the rays
Of the sun beating down

Be careful,
Don’t go too low
You’ll block your eyes
Won’t see at all
And you’ll walk into a tree

To keep from freezing on a winter night
Be sure to button up your coat
When the frost bites
And the snow is white
It’ll keep away the cold

But if you find you’re shivering still
You can’t afford to pay the bills
Then you better get a smaller place

To keep from getting down on a rainy day
Just shut the curtains closed
Then the rain won’t wash away
All the things you’ve worked for

But if you want to sing the blues
The whole world is bad news
Then you better try that new pill
