"The Get Together" lyrics

"The Get Together"

One day a wise young man threw down his apron and he said, I quit
I've been considering the meaning of existing
And I'm pretty sure this ain't it

So he climbed the tallest mountain
He sat beneath the tallest tree
Seeking a peace within himself
He waited patiently
It would as if all was folly
As he focused more and more
Exploring the nature of being
Until he came to its very core

And it was there he became enlightened
And it was then he begun to sob
He said, oh shit... I quit my job

Is everybody ready for the get together?
Is everybody ready for the get together?
Is everybody ready for the get together?
Day after forever
Oblivion or better
You better get ready

Come on, somebody
You better get ready
...
