[g c]
i learned about titus andronicus from
my high school author teacher
listened to their newest album a year late
because i was only just now ready for it

daft punk isn't allowed in my house
but those hidden tattoos and a winger
made everything a little bit better &
a little bit greener
[am g c]
your job doesn't have to be your love
your job doesn't have to be your love
red penned letters on a random page
from the man who knew poems
and careless dreams
he rode home on a horse with
his red pen in hand
greatest teacher in all the land
do what you want if you want to
do what you want if you can
do what you want while you may
do what you want in your grave
transcendental youth from the earth
through these wiry bones
every day in art class
i sat there alone
enjoying the postal service
making art without nerves
i pocketed your words as
i threw out my art
do what you want
do what you love
do what you can
make your own plan
julien span with a bass in his hands
the colors all melded
his hat and the stage
and the music they played
a lamb-lit stage held the glow of his life
friends, saw, & smile
