Hop Off the Soapbox: Brent Cobb's Musical Tale of Tolerance and Individuality
Lyrics
Well the crowd goes crazy when catastrophe strikes
Expressing how people react passionately to disasters or crises.
Nobody's feelings seem to come out right
Highlighting difficulties in expressing emotions during challenging times.
Talk is cheap and common sense ain't commonly found
Stating that talk is cheap, and common sense is not easily found.
I try not to pay attention, keep on having my fun
Choosing not to pay attention to negativity and continuing to have fun.
Minding my own, I'll be a son of a gun
Remaining independent and carefree.
If old so and so down the road don't like it a bit
Facing criticism from others, but not letting it bother.
I keep side steppin', they keep throwin' me shit
Handling criticism by sidestepping, not letting it affect personal enjoyment.
I don't preach no tricks, don't talk politics
Declaring a stance of avoiding preaching and political discussions.
I'm just a casual singer holding my stones and my sticks
Identifying as a singer who casually enjoys life with simple pleasures.
If I got a problem my job is pour my heart in a song
Turning personal problems into heartfelt songs as a coping mechanism.
Well, hot dog, your opinion is louder than mine
Acknowledging the loudness of others' opinions but maintaining personal perspective.
You might wear out my nerves, but you ain't changing my mind
Resisting influence despite potential irritation.
by, good God, let's hop off the soap box and get along
Advocating for unity and moving away from divisive discussions.
Well there ain't no kitchen fittin' all of these cooks
Describing a situation with too many people offering opinions or advice.
If you're cravin' bacon you might get dirty looks
Suggesting that pursuing desires may attract criticism but encouraging resilience.
So what? Damn, suck it up and wash it down
Encouraging resilience and acceptance in the face of challenges.
I believe having passion is worth more than gold
Valuing passion over material wealth.
That tellin' the truth don't ever get old
Emphasizing the timeless importance of truth-telling.
Sometimes, Lord, all we can do is fight
Acknowledging the inevitability of conflict but choosing to confront it later.
It might drive me crazy, but it won't be tonight
Expressing a willingness to face challenges in the future.
I don't preach no tricks, don't talk politics
Reiterating a commitment to avoiding preaching and politics.
I'm just a casual singer holding my stones and my sticks
Reiterating the singer's simple and casual lifestyle.
If I got a problem my job is pour my heart in a song
Reaffirming the therapeutic role of turning personal issues into songs.
Well, hot dog, your opinion is louder than mine
Acknowledging the volume of others' opinions without letting it sway personal beliefs.
You might wear out my nerves, but you ain't changing my mind
Resisting external pressure to change personal convictions.
By good God, let's hop off the soap box and get along
Reiterating the call for unity and harmony.
Get along
Emphasizing the need for people to get along.
I don't preach no tricks, don't talk politics
Repeating the commitment to avoiding tricks and politics.
I'm just a casual singer holding my stones and my sticks
Reiterating the singer's identity as a casual individual with simple pleasures.
If I got a problem my job is pour my heart in a song
Restating the therapeutic nature of expressing problems through song.
Well, hot dog, your opinion is louder than mine
Acknowledging the persistence of others' opinions without yielding.
You might wear out my nerves, but you ain't changing my mind
Resisting external pressure to change personal convictions.
By good God, let's hop off the soap box and get along
Reiterating the call for unity and harmony.
Well, good God, let's hop off the soap box and get along
Concluding with a plea for collective harmony and unity.
