Any Major Dude Will Tell You Lyrics

i have been learning this song recently... great chords, lyrics and catchy guitar riff. i believe a major dude is a friend (any friend would tell you that you won't always feel so bad) practice impermanence... in the morning things will be different (because things are impermanent, attachment to them is futile, and leads to suffering)

Have you ever seen a squonks tears? Well, look at mine. (i’m sad sometimes too) The people on the street have all seen better times. (there is suffering everywhere)

I can tell you all I know: there where to go, the what to do. (my words are meaningless if you don’t put them into practice) You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you. (the nature of your being is goodness and joy)

My Interpretation
