I found only one set of lyrics for this song on the web and I found them extremely unsatisfactory. They were badly spelled and many sections were entirely, and obviously off of the real lyrics. So I set out to do better. It's not perfect by any means but I think it's getting closer. The only thing I'm really missing is the name in line 12 if someone can figure that out.

Gotta get somethin' done today
|
Give a accomplishment a shot
|
Might not have a full palet to use
|
But im gonna paint with the colors I've got
|
|
Then your hopes and ideals you embrace
|
Then there's what's staring you in the face
|
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
|
'Cause, this too shall pass
|
|
Hhmmm hmmmm
|
This to shall pass
|
|
Feelin like a lazy tub of lard
|
?????? gave me his business card
|
Think I'll take a personality test
|
Document my fineness this far
|
|
Then your hopes and ideals you embrace
|
Then there's what's staring you in the face
|
First place man will one day roll in last
|
'Cause this too shall pass
|
|
Na na na na naaaa na na
|
Na na na na na na naaaaaa
|
|
And this too shall pass
|
|
Better get on out to the startin' line
|
Comin' soon they're gonna fix it in time
|
I just want to get what's mine
|
Not a function, gonna just, gonna adjust the lights
|
|
And this too shall pass
|
|
What you gotta do to find a cure
|
For the things that make you feel so inpure
|
Just now i don't know for sure
|
Sometimes misery has a stange lure
|
|
Then your hopes and ideals you embrace
|
Then tehre's what's staring you in the face
|
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
|
Because this too shall pass
|
|
Then your hopes and ideal you embrace
|
Then there's what's staring you in the face
|
Sorrowful times are here but they won't last
|
Because this too shall pass
|
|
na na na na na na na na
|
|
This too shall pass
|
