There's no other way,
To get to where you're going,
then the road you walk alone
There's no better dream,
Then what lives on inside you,
Once you have made it your own
And when the clouds of doubt catch you off your guard
Just remember who you are
Remember who you are
There's no one like you,
No one quite as special,
You've got all you need,
Take care of yourself,
Make your magic happen,
Make life the best it can be,
And when the clouds of doubt catch you off your guard,
Just remember who you are.
You're both a singer and a song, mmmmmmmm
The painter and the painting,
Don't waste your life in waiting,
Make your mark,
And remember who you are.
And when that voice of doubt calls to you in the dark,
Just remember who you are.
Remember who you are,
Remember who you are.

Ladies and Gentleman, of the class of '99,
Wear Sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
sunscreen would be it
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable then my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice, now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh nevermind.
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way that you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future.
Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.
The kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.
The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive.
Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
Some of the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't know.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees.
You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have kids, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the Funky Chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
What ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your living room.
Read directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines.
They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents.
You'll never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings.
They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few, you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund.
Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more then it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Scar Tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic Mister Know It All
Close your eyes, and I'll kiss you
cause with the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
falling all over myself
to lick your heart
and taste your health cause
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
Blood loss in a bathroom stall,
southern girl with a scarlet drawl
wave goodbye to ma and pa
cause with the birds I'll share
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
soft spoken with a broken jaw
step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet, we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic Mister Know It All
close your eyes and I'll kiss you
cause with the birds I'll share
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view
with the birds I'll share this lonely view

I walk right by him and he's freezing his ass off
he could be dead I'm supposed to walk away
I won't remember a thing come the summertime
handful of quarters make me feel okay
ah ah, who's gonna have to pay
ah ah, who do I love today
I love what's mine, cause what's mine is all mine
gives me a reason to go get more
don't really care where I go to get it,
I ain't too clear about "what's yours is yours"
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it,
take a look out your back door
If you don't like a single thing that I'm saying
If you're offended when I demonstrate
don't mean a damn to me and I shall continue
Hope you won't mind if I control my fate
ah ah, who will I have to fight
ah ah, to defend my creative rights
I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine
it's what I fight for it's for what I bleed
I roll the dice on the grand experiment,
while I am strong I will get what I need
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
but before you demand it
take a look out your back door
(Guitar solo)
If your concerned with moral imperitave
If you tripping on the right thing to do
Come to my office with the exclusive screen play
I think there's money in a book about you
ah ah, what do you have to lose
ah ah, which are you going to choose
I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine
gonna make a million on the folly of men
don't even care about no consequences
turn my damnation into chapter 10
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
but before you demand it
take a look out your back door
Yeah
oh yeah yeah yeah
