Backseat of your family station wagon   Listenin' to mom   100 years of solitude   and only 12 years old      God make up your mind   God make up your mind   Do you wanna play fair   Should I take what's mine?      Mama's callin' out   look at the grand canyon   Camilla couldn't care less   Gazin' to the home   your stomach feels the emptiness      God make up your mind   God make up your mind   Do you wanna play fair   Or should I take what's mine?   Like everyone else      From New York to New Orleans   played alphabet   Kansas to Boise   won a battleship   memorize the capitals   crossword puzzles   drew a picture of a cat   layin' dead in the street   Daydream about Maria back in California      Elephant in your brain   remindin' you you've got to make a choice   Wraps his arms around ya slow   Cause you tense up like an armadillo      God make up your mind   God make up your mind   Do you wanna play fair   Or should I take what's mine?   Like everyone else      Why am a teacher on the street sign   has done so much more than politicians   than musicans   You wanna help someone   you gotta be a no one   that's what I figured out   the cat in the street meant      You gotta make up your mind   make up your mind   make up your mind
