Backseat of your family station wagon
Listenin' to mom
100 years of solitude
And only 12 years old

God make up your mind
God make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair
Should I take what's mine?

Mama's callin' out
Look at the grand canyon
Camilla couldn't care less
Gazin' to the home
Your stomach feels the emptiness

God make up your mind
God make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair
Or should I take what's mine?
Like everyone else

From New York to New Orleans
Played alphabet
Kansas to Boise
Won a battleship
Memorize the capitals
Crossword puzzles
Drew a picture of a cat
Layin' dead in the street
Daydream about Maria back in California

Elephant in your brain
Remindin' you you've got to make a choice
Wraps his arms around ya slow
Cause you tense up like an armadillo

God make up your mind
God make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair
Or should I take what's mine?
Like everyone else

Why am a teacher on the street sign
Has done so much more than politicians
Than musicans
You wanna help someone
You gotta be a no one
That's what I figured out
The cat in the street meant

You gotta make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
