I Can't Get Behind That Lyrics
Lets get ready
From the top
My favorite shows on TV have 12 minutes of advertising
I can't get behind that kind of time
Eat quickly, drive faster,
Make more money now
I can't get behind that
My kids say
He said to me, and I'm like, and he's like, and she's like
It's all he's all, she's all
I can't get behind that kind of like English
That will be 6 to 8 weeks before delivery
The rising oceans
The warming temperatures
The dying polar bears
No tigers in 50 years
Rising poison in the air and water
I can't understand
Why the price of gas suddenly rises
When oil goes up
But takes months to go down
Long after oil falls
I can't get behind any of that
I can't get behind the gods
Who are more vengeful, angry
And dangerous if you don't believe in them
Why can't all these gods just get along
I mean their omnipotent and omnipresent
What's the problem
What's the problem
What about the men who say
Do as I do
Believe in what I say for your own good
Or I'll kill you
I can't get behind that
I can't get behind that
Everybody knows everything about all of us
That's too much knowledge
I can't get behind that
Yeah, and what about student drivers
Using my streets to learn
If you learn to play the drums
You have to go to a studio
Go to a parking lot for God's sakes
Why are you jeopardizing my life
I can't get behind a student driver
I can't get behind a driver
Who drives like a student driver
If your going to drive an urban assault vehicle
Then get off the phone
And keep your eyes on the road
Lifetime guarantee
Who's lifetime not mine
Haven't that much time left
Lets make it yours
Everybody has got a longer life than me
The leaf blowers
Is there anything more futile
Car alarms
Clap off clap on
Spam
Size matters
No it doesn't
Yes it does
No it doesn't
Yes it does
No it doesn't
Yes it does
Yes it does
My phone rings
Make millions in minutes
It's a computer
Lose inches in hours
Leave me the hell alone
Eat more spend less
The colonel is break dancing
Give me a break
Credit terms arranged
I can't get behind any of that
I can't get behind so called singers
That can't carry a tune
Get paid for talking
How easy is that
Well maybe I could get behind that
Well I can't
If you have to fix it with a computer
Quantize piss corrected
Notably inspected
Then you can't do it
And I can't get behind that
I can't get behind a fat ass
Yeah
Bill can you turn around do one more
Can always do one more
Let's hit it
From the top
I can't get behind that kind of time
Eat quickly, drive faster,
Make more money now
I can't get behind that
He said to me, and I'm like, and he's like, and she's like
It's all he's all, she's all
I can't get behind that kind of like English
The rising oceans
The warming temperatures
The dying polar bears
No tigers in 50 years
Rising poison in the air and water
Why the price of gas suddenly rises
When oil goes up
But takes months to go down
Long after oil falls
I can't get behind any of that
Who are more vengeful, angry
And dangerous if you don't believe in them
Why can't all these gods just get along
I mean their omnipotent and omnipresent
What's the problem
What's the problem
Do as I do
Believe in what I say for your own good
Or I'll kill you
I can't get behind that
I can't get behind that
Everybody knows everything about all of us
That's too much knowledge
I can't get behind that

I have no idea what this song is about ...
It's obviously about the state of the world in this day and age. Bill isn't exactly a young man anymore, so all of this is new to him and it's upsetting him.
I'd be upset, too.
I like these lyrics.
[quote] william shatner is a talentless piece of shit. [/quote]
haha, someone obviously haven't listened to "has been." i think that track explains it all.
Wow, I think William was singing about that guy
Toolapc??? sounds like one of the people Bill sings about in Has Been
Absolutely about the state of the world today and how drastically it's changed in the last, even just twenty years -- but more like forty.
He's really summed up just about everything that drives me beyond bonkers -- and I'd imagine many, many others.
"I can't get behind that kind of, like, English!"
You said it, man.
Great song... It is quite obvious as to what it is about... mainly just what he can't get behind... but you know.. the state of the world
Ahahaha.
I think this song particularly was meant as a joke song. Just listen to it.
I mean, I'm sure this stuff bugs him and everything, but I mean, come on.
"The leaf blowers... Is there anything more FUTILE?!"
It's hilarious.
Henry Rollins, William Shatner, Adrian Belew, and a drummer, all on a track produced by Ben Folds. My brain just got blown out the back of my skull.
I don't know about Shatner, but I know Rollins is serious about all the stuff he says on this track. Listen to any of his comedy/spoken word albums, and you'll understand. There's a great bit about this song on his Shock & Awe DVD and an even better one on his Talk is Cheap, Vol. 4 CD.
Yes yes, the ridiculous bullshit of the world and all that jazz.
But isn't that drumming frggin' awesome?
