brett dennen - kumbaya, life rolls on lyrics
[verse 1]
“every day i feel a little bit smaller
yet everyday i get a little bit larger”
said the man to himself
stepping off a scale, stepping on a shelf
stepping on a train going home to his wife
put him at a desk, it’s the rest of his life
he says, “how’d i get talked into this? what’d i miss?
i wanna make a fast break”
[pre+chorus]
“look at my life i’m a lot like you
if i’m a shine then you’ll shine too
i am as common as a breakup or a blade of grass”
[chorus]
fighters on the tv shaking hands when the fight is done
say, “k+mbaya, life rolls on”
life rolls on
if you got room for friends, i know somеone who could use one
k+mbaya, lifе rolls on
life rolls on
[verse 2]
he says, “i can’t complain my life is simple
a pencil never reaches its full potential
it always gets tossed when it gets short
i used to dream about joining the peace corps
somewhere in a hot, hot jungle
where i sleep in a hammock and bathe in a waterfall
now i look at my phone all day
say, ‘hey who’s that cat? ‘”
[pre+chorus]
“look at my life i’m a lot like you
if i’m a shine then you’ll shine too
i live on a pile of junk too valuable to throw away”
[chorus]
fighters on the tv shaking hands when the fight is done
say, “k+mbaya, life rolls on”
life rolls on
if you got room for friends, i know someone who could use one
k+mbaya, life rolls on

“a quarterback makes an incomplete pass
and i’m tired of having to laugh
at all those jokes that aren’t that funny
tired of kissing ass like it’s cr+pping out money
whatever happened to the guitar solo?
whatever happened to crying my name out?
whatever happened to waking the neighbors
and sleeping on a futon couch?”
[pre+chorus]
“look at my life i’m a lot like you
if i’m a shine then you’ll shine too
now i have everything delivered to my door, my door, my door”
[chorus]
fighters on the tv shaking hands when the fight is done
say “k+mbaya, life rolls on”
life rolls on
if you got room for friends, i know someone who could use one
k+mbaya, life rolls on
k+mbaya, life rolls on
