You Get The Wiser

[jeff robertson]

You get the wiser one this time.
You get the wiser one this time.
Last time we went for a whirl
I wound up with the brainy girl.

I must admit that she was kinda cute.
She kicked my ass at trivial pursuit.
How could I become her man,
there's too much I don't understand.

I had never heard her favorite song.
I quoted poets but I got them wrong.
I've never seen the films she's seen
and that makes me a philistine.

I tried to talk about my college days.
That's when I was really blown away.
I remember beer and weed.
She knows organic chemistry.

Next time when we see them come in pairs
Let me stalk the one who is unaware.
You can take the one with smarts
and learn how dumb you really are.

You get the wiser one this time.
You get the wiser one this time.

You Get The Wiser - By Jolly Roger

I'm just wondering how long
You've managed to be under my skin
and I'm just wondering how long
It's been since you've started wearing me thin.

And I'm am the puppet and you've tied me fast here
And you have connived me to think you are master
And you keep on winning and I can't decipher
Why I keep on winning and you get the wiser.

[guitar fill]

I'm just wondering how far
That you are willing to take this,
and I'm just wondering how high
That you will take me before you break this.

And I'm am the puppet and you've tied me fast here
And you have connived me to think you are master
And you keep on winning and I can't decipher
Why I keep on winning and you get the wiser.

[crap harmonica fill]

And why don't you understand
that everything I do for you is
out of the goodness of my heart?

And why do you keep saying
that I'm okay with being no one?
When I'm not.
When I'm not.

And I'm am the puppet and you've tied me fast here
And you have connived me to think you are master
And you keep on winning and I can't decipher
Why I keep on winning and you get the wiser.

Well the years passing by have left us bereft
Of the passion and youth we once had
But we’ve earned us a lot on our journey through life
We’re getting some good and some bad

Yeah, time passing by makes us older and wiser
We’re getting that way bit by bit
And I’m glad we’re together as time marches on
And we’re missing more marks than we hit

I get the older, and you get the wiser
I get the forgetful, and you get the inspired
We still got each other whatever that gets us
But I get the older and you get the wiser


And you seem to know I need you, though sometimes I don’t know why
We grew grey together –
And stayed together –
I thought together we’d grow wise

And you still look familiar, though other things fade
And the mirror can be hard to see
We can’t shoose what we get, but I’m glad I got you
Share your wisdom with me

I get the older, and you get the wiser
I get the forgetful, and you get the inspired
We still got each other whatever that gets us
But I get the older and you get the wiser
I know it’s not easy the way life can test us
I got the older, and you get the wiser

YOU GET THE WISER
by John Benjamin

You get the wiser
I'll call the school
Stung by a spider
Or dead in the pool

Why is the piper
Still hanging around?
He's getting riper
Dead on the ground

Underneath
A river flows
And overhead
A murder of crows

You get the wiser
I'll get the tools
They tried to disguise her
You can't break the rules

Underneath
A river flows
And overhead
A murder

Does the camera...
Can you see?
Was she naked?
Was she clean?
Where did the time go?
I fell asleep
Will we ever know?

You get the wiser
I get the fool
Don't tell the rider
His horse is a mule

Underneath
A river flows
And overhead
A murder

And underneath
A river flows
And overhead
A murder of crows

[Rabid Garfunkel]

You Get The Wiser
by Rabid Garfunkel

Read the label
Caveat emptor
Research before acting
Scotch the sale

Shadow economy of information
Rapture is a mouse click away
That next elusive link
Will make it all seem clear

Paralyzed by infinite options
Wetware has dried up
Are we any smarter now?
Just cowed by so much raw data

Who's the wiser now?
You're the wiser now
Or are you?
Who's the wiser now?
You're the wiser now
Or are you?

Are you?

[Jordo]

I get the dumb one and you get the wiser

All this time i've spent, working my whole life to get ahead
Planning way too hard and being shocked when i get no regard


Complications drown out my voice and kick me way down
While you float up to your job as President Of The World


Whining is the only thing that i can leave behind
That's why i will whine, whine, whiiine



pure brilliance,
Jordan Cooper
