Advice To The Graduate Lyrics - Singles - Silver Jews

If you got a message 

Leave your name and number 

And we'll get back to you 

Sleep on your back and ash in your shoes 

And always use the old sense of the words 

Your third drink will lead you astray 

Wandering down the backstreets of the world 

On the last day of your life 

Don't forget to die 

The things that you do 

Will always make your mama cry. 

Well, I know you got a lot of hope for 

The new men 

The new men 

So you've got no friends and you wander through the night 

And now you watch the sunrise through a rifle-sight 

Well, don't believe in people who say it's all been done 

They have time to talk because their race is run 

So get in some licks 

And hold your head up 

And soon you'll be drinkin' from that crystal cup 

Well, I know you got a lot of hope for 

The new men 

Well, I know you got a lot of hope for 

The new men 

Good morning to the new world
