Thomas Sanders
A New Year of Lying to Myself...in Song - Sander Sides
[THOMAS:]
I'll cut out carbs to lose some weight
[LOGAN:]
That's a lie
[THOMAS:]
I won't go to bed so late
[PATTON:]
LIE!
[THOMAS:]
I won't be so shy to date
[LOGAN:]
Lie
[THOMAS:]
I won't do so much riffing
[ROMAN [riffing]:]
Lie!
[THOMAS:]
I'll go to the gym and get real strong
[PATTON:]
Lie
[THOMAS:]
All my work I won't prolong
[LOGAN:]
Hah! Lie
[THOMAS:]
I'll stick to goals the whole year-long
[PATTON:]
Another lie!
[THOMAS:]
I won't sing so many Disney songs
[ROMAN:]
You're kidding, right?
[VIRGIL:]
Let's face the facts and come to terms, it's time to realize
These goals are only merely hope we quickly leave behind
They're lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
[spoken]
Give it up. Resolutions are nothing more than empty promises to yourself. You shouldn't even try
[THOMAS [spoken]:]
Okay, maybe thinking big like that is not the way to go, but resolutions don't have to be big. They can be reasonable
[THOMAS:]
I could cook a meal or four
[PATTON:]
True...
[THOMAS:]
Keep my clothes neater in my drawer
[ROMAN:]
True
[THOMAS:]
Improve my credit score
[LOGAN:]
So true
[THOMAS:]
Tell my loved ones that I love them more
[PATTON:]
That's cute!
[THOMAS:]
There's a book I've meant to read
[LOGAN:]
True!
[THOMAS:]
Do my best to do good deeds
[PATTON:]
(Gasp) True!
[THOMAS:]
Take the time for me I need
[ROMAN:]
Too true!
[THOMAS:]
Follow less and take a lead!
[VIRGIL:]
Don't kid yourself
You know your year can't be that sublime
[THOMAS:]
You may be right, but I'll prove you wrong
We'll both find out in time if they're
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
They could be
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
I won't let 'em be
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!
I'm doing fine
