Wise Up - Aimee Mann

[DudeAsInCool]

This was the featured cut in the film Magnolia - my favorite part of the movie was when the characters sang the chorus in separate soliloquies...

Wise Up Lyrics

Artist: Aimee Mann

Album: Magnolia Soundtrack

It's not

What you thought

When you first began it

You got

What you want

Now you can hardly stand it though,

By now you know

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

You're sure

There's a cure

And you have finally found it

You think

One drink

Will shrink you 'til you're underground

And living down

But it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need

Before you sign away the deed

'Cause it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

No, it's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

No, it's not going to stop

So just...give up
