    Story Behind the Song
    The lyrics are good and self-explanitory-- though it helps if you know who Jeremiah is.
    Bart wrote the song and used to play it with borrowed acoustic guitars and harmonicas. We made it bigger and more interesting with the band-- one of our most popular songs. Recorded in one take with five minutes of practice and a year mixing the harmonica.

    Lyrics
    Live for Today
    Music and lyrics by Bart Cameron

    Jeremiah always frowns
    He lets the end of the world get him down
    He says hellfire and brimstone comin' down
    Gonna raze all the cities to the ground.

    He doesn't know you gotta live for today. You gotta live for today.

    Noah, he built an arc.
    And he saved his wife; he saved himself.
    But his friends went down, in a big old swell.
    Still they lived their lives and lived them well.

    Because they knew you gotta live for today.

    I don't believe in your god.
    I got morals, I don't need law.
    Because people always die when religion calls.
    Believin' is the thing that made Adam fall.
