The Grandma Song

from Time Ghost EP by Aaron J. Shay

/

lyrics

Remember your manners when you are the guest of a stranger
At home you can be as sloppy and rude as you please
Before you take a new friend to bed
Don’t forget to ask them
If they’ve been tested for sexual transmitted disease

Well, that’s what I learned from my grandma
That’s what my grandma used to say
Though she is gone
Her wisdom carries on
Whenever I think back on yesterday

Never invite a fascist to sit at your table
Soon your table will be full of fascists with no room for food
If you’re overwhelmed by worries about the end of the world
Ring up a friend, it’ll brighten your attitude

Well, that’s what I learned from my grandma
That’s what my grandma used to say
Though she is gone
Her wisdom carries on
Whenever I think back on yesterday

Whenever you go to a protest, plan an escape route
Go with friends, and dress for the weather appropriately
If it weren’t for politicians, cops, and corporations
We’d have a civilized society

Well, that’s what I learned from my grandma
That’s what my grandma used to say
Though she is gone
Her wisdom carries on
Whenever I think back on yesterday
