happy new year everybody there's an overweight man with an overweight woman

 on a sofa just watching TV hes yelling his opinion at the television she

 looks up from her food and agrees they got two bumper stickers on there pick

 up truck they keep the pick up parked outside one sticker says "what would

 jesus do?" the other bumper sticker says "power of pride" I was thumbing

 through the stations on my own television when i come across a guy on the

 religious station singing "somebody's coming" sounding whiter than me

 somehow, wow, it took me back in time through dwindling joy to when I was

 such a guilt ridden catholic boy, I'm evangelical agnostic now I don't know

 what we're doing here you don't know what were doing here, now Christians

 don't walk out on me just yet you know whose name im yelling as im clutching

 my chest the one my dad told me to and his told him to and I probably pray as

 much or more than you do believe? shit, every word i sing but believing and

 knowing, those are two different things and if your trying to change the way

 a strangers life will have to go I believe this is where i wanna stick to

 what i know which is nothing you know, nothing for sure so just chill til the

 next episode now back to the lecture at hand seems like my neighbor wants to

 kill what he cant understand I say we cant just kill what we don't understand

 but I turn on my tv and see that oh yes we can we can and we have since then

 dawn of man for countless gods whose only real seeming plan was to see to it

 that clinging to life was our fate and you gotta admit that life’s pretty

 great, but can we deny that its killing us? i'll be here all week

 happy new year everybody happy birthday country joe I resolve to do like i

always do I aint hurtin you

if life is anything its embarrassing a rusty nail through a careless shoe you

can't help but sit around and wonder sometimes why there's never anything the

 poor nail can do or think about how unfair it is that the shoe is only going

 where it has to too if you ain't the dumb kid out running around you kinda

gotta do what your born to do hey

 happy new year everybody specifically happy birthday to you Country Joe I

 resolve to do like I always do and I only ever make it a day or two
