Hug Your Hamster

from BRICK by brick bosso

/

about

A type of protest song about the big things and the little things. Love the one you're with, even if he or she is a hamster.

lyrics

Hug your hamster, train your monkey
Take it slow, keep it funky
You will never, ever make it
Till you learn how to shake it
Till you learn how to shake it
Mother Mary, Sister Sally, don’t belong in an alley
We must provide all their needs
We must give till we bleed
We must give till we bleed
Does anybody know what it takes to live while it hurts?
Does anybody know how it feels to eat carrots and dirt?
And I don’t know what you mean when you say that I must choose between two extremes.
Hug your hamster, make your money
Spend it fast, spend it funny
We never ever feel it, till we learn to reveal it
Till we learn to reveal it
Hug your lover, kiss your brother
We must love one another
Before the lights go out, before we have to shout,
Before we have to shout
Does anybody know what it means to lack vitamins and greens?
Does anybody know how it feels to relapse and reveal?
I don’t know what you mean when you say I must live my life like a magazine
Hug your hamster, train your monkey
Take it slow, keep it funky
We will never ever make it, till we learn to shake it
Till we learn to shake it
Hug your lover, kiss your brother
We must love one another
Before the lights go out, before it's time to shout,
Before it's time to shout!

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
