Advice To The Graduate - 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
