lyrics

(PICK YOUR) FRONT LEG UP

If you want to move, pick your front leg up
If you want to go, pick your front leg up
If you want to leave, pick your front leg up
And your back leg will follow along

Well well well you say that moving’s hard
It’s like squeezing blood from a stone
You oughta leave that bleeding to a dyin’ man
And jump on that stone and roll

Hey hey hey you got a heavy heart
And your feet are feeling stuck like glue
Open up your gut and pull them big blues out
And stomp on them little ones too

You say say say with your mouth all twist
That the only thing you love is dead
Well you could kill yourself every day that you alive
Or you could love yourself instead

If you want to moan, shut your pie hole up
If you want to whine, shut your pie hole up
If you want to grieve, till your time is up
Before you say boo, you’re done

Well baby baby baby I wont tell you no lie
I wont hide away no truth
We didn’t all get beauty no we didn’t all get brains
But we’s all given power to move
