The Remedy
Well I saw fireworks from the freeway,
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away.
Coz you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring,
Well something's on the surface, it stinks.
I said something on the surface, well it kind of makes me nervous,
Who says that you deserve this? And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease,
Well if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy.

The remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison,
I says the comedy is that it's serious which is a strange enough new play on words.
I said the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on,
So shine the light on all of your friends, cuz it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away, hey, oh,
I won't worry my life away, hey, oh-oh.

Well I heard two men talking on the radio,
In a crossfire kind of new reality show.
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack,
Well they were counting down the ways to stab the brother in the;
Be right back after this, the unavoidable kiss,
Where the minty-fresh death-breath is sure to outlast this catastrophy,
Dance with me, coz if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy.

Bridge

I won't worry my life away, hey, oh,
(I won't, I won't, I won't) I won't worry my life away, hey, oh-oh.

When I fall in love, I take my time,
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind.
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine,
And I'll tell you why, because...

Bridge
Chorus

Coz I won't and I won't, I won't worry my life away,
I won't, I won't, I won't...

-Jason Mraz

For the longest time I didn't realize that this was an anti-Bush song. It gets played on the radio all the time. I wonder how many realize...?

1. It's constantly played on the teeny-bopper station
in my area, so I'm sure not may people realize it

2. You Should Seek an Acoustic Version
where it's just Jason & his guitar, no studio wizardry. He has a wonderful voice, that got covered up by the album's producer.
