	I was probably under the influence of your basic 19th century Russian literature peasant character when I created the first person, who "shakes his head" at "the way things are". The song is a little bit of a prayer.

	Story Behind the Song I did the basic track of the piano and singing simultaneously in the fourth take, and initially meant to embellish it, but decided it needed to be simple. It's about a simple person but his soul is universal. Lyrics There's a thing stops by here Waiting for my contribution I drop it in Then it goes over there But these days, with things the way they are After that all I can do Is shake my head, shake my head I shake my head all the time now I shake my head I just want to go out into that world That I used to see on my box of Cheerios When I was young But these days everything seems wrong I can't even get my waitress to bring me my check They just leave the building And leave me sitting there, waiting for my check [refrain:] All I can do is shake my head I shake my head all the time now All I can do is shake my head I shake my head all the time now Some people think that they're on Too tight a leash Yeah well but sometimes I think some people's leashes aren't tight enough I feel them all the way over here They say it's okay to drink beer Oh but you can't smoke pot No you can't smoke pot [refrain] More and more these days With things being the way they are I get into a mood And nothing can break that mood I see everything from that mood Nothing can change that mood And I'm glad about that Once in a while, but not too often I think about the Earth being going What will we do Without gravity? [refrain] There's a thing stops by here Waiting for my contribution I drop it in Then it goes over there
