ishtar

[mattsharp]

one of the greatest songs ever written.
thank you warren beatty and dustin hoffman.

telling the truth can be dangerous business
honest and popular don't go hand in hand
if you admit that you can play the accordion
no one will hire you in a rock and roll band

but we can sing our hearts out, (all night)
and if we're lucky then no neighbours complain
nobody knows how the beginning part starts out,
but being human we can live with the pain

because life is the way we audition for God
and we pray that we all get the job

crying out loud gets you pointed and laughed out
be like a baby, only babies should cry
somebody tell me how that rumour got started
something i know only God knows why

but we can sing our hearts out!
