"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient. Highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed — fully understood —that sticks."
I’ve got this idea that I’m in need of a fresh truck
It’s winter in Canada, and it’s easy to get stuck
Believe me, it’s not quick, we’re freezing for 10 months
My feet have been frostbit, I’m beat and just fed up
My V8 is set up with rear wheel drive
Which is teasing with death once I near real ice
I’m in fear here, why? Cause I’m accident prone
When I steer, veer wide. Got no traction control
So when the chassis is cold, I’m a risk on these roads
And I’d rather be home, then in some ditch in the snow
So I’m ditchin this old two thousand and one beast
Cause it’s a victory only if I get out it in one piece
Highly doubt it for some reason, so I’ve made up my mind
Highway bound, I’m done teasin, gimme papers to sign
But I’ve got this idea that I don’t really wanna work
Anything more than part time soundin silly and absurd
And I’m really not concerned that the funds would be low
If there’s anything I learned, money comes and it goes
So I’m done with the notion of slaving for cash
I have fun, but controlled, and I save what I have
I take about half of every summer off at least
Then I bake and I tan from all the sun engulfin me
Cause I’m such a golfin fiend, plus hockey and tennis
I just revolve the three, friends always is jealous
Then I got these ideas.. after I test drove some trucks
Add this, and option that, I want the best yo, whatsup?
If I’m buying new, it’s time to choose, and you better chrome it up
By the time I’m through, I kinda splooged, it gets expensive, holy fuck
Like this is senseless blowing bucks on the warranty already
But what’s another 6 grand on the 40 we’re spending?
It’s sort of depressing to think of the debt that I owe
But it’s more just impressive the things that my credit can show
So I let it just go. Enjoy it while it lasts, and I’m soaking it up
The most important idea I have, is that you only live once
That motive has stuck, even though the count of my dollars is shrinking
I mostly lead the life I want, and that’s the power of positive thinking
