Yeah baby, this is starting to hit me over the head like a jackhammer. I LOVE that the title track continues the tradition of repeating lyrics from previous albums. I already can't wait to listen to it again and I'm still on my first spin.

hehehe

you are on my list sean

Some list AD!

I got it this morning, all excited as I hadn't see this thread all weekend. I think I forwarded the link to half of the people on this thread thinking I had gotten ahead of the curve for once. I'm halfway through now, Lord I'm Discouraged is killing me right now.

Anyone have a link to lyrics yet? My copy is from an mp3 rip and its not that great.

Here, I just did Stay Positive by ear.

I got a lot of old friends that are gettin' back in touch

And it's a pretty good feeling, yeah it feels pretty good

I get a lot of double takes when I'm coming around the corners

And it's mostly pretty nice, yeah it's mostly pretty alright

'Cuz most kids give me credit for being down with it

When it was back in the day, back when things were way different

When the youth of the day and early 7 Seconds

Taught me some of life's most valuable lessons

There's gonna come a time when the scene'll seem less sunny

And it'll probably get druggy and the kids will seem too skinny

There's gonna come a time when she's gonna have to go

With whoever's gonna get her the highest

There's gonna come a time when the true scene leaders

Forget where they differ and get big picture

'Cuz the kids at the shows, they'll have kids of their own

The sing-along songs will be our scriptures

We gotta stay positive

When the chaperone crowned us the king and the queen

I knew that we'd arrived at a unified scene

And all those little lamps from my dreams, well they were there too

'Cuz it's one thing to start it with a positive jam

And it's another thing to see it all through

And we couldn't have even done this if it wasn't for you

We gotta stay positive
