Jimmy Buffett - Today's Message lyrics

"Oh yes welcome
Welcome all in the middle of this parrothead
Madness this evening we thought it would
Be appropriate to take a few minutes of your
Time to reflect on a little spiritual
Spiritual healing heal'em up sister
We have such a choir with
Us this evening we can't
Wait to hear all of you sing with us
That's why we're here we heard you all on a
Couple of songs already the only thing is
It's not nice to beat Jimmy to
The words of his own song"
"Yes, we white people been working
On rhythm for a
While but we've got a long way to go
So when we get to this next song we'd
Like for you to sing i know that
Some of you may be a little hesitant here the
Climate that's going around these
Days because some


Pea-brained people think that some
Of my songs are
Obscene and nasty we know better don't we?

But I just feel sorry for the ones
That don't it's just that the times
Have moved so far ahead of 'em
They're back in the pea-brained past"

"Time has moved so fast, I will give
You a couple of examples today
A pair of tennis shoes costs
More than a lot of
Your first automobiles did i
Had a hundred dollar
Pick-up truck back in those days i know can I
Get an AMEN for a
Hundred dollar pick-up truck?"

"Today there are two Madonnas our
Lady of Fatima over here
And that woman from Michigan runnin' around
Italy with Warren Beatty over
Here looks like Helen
Of Troy sue me baby sue me, yeah"

"And uh, we don't want you to think of this
Song in those terms because this
Song that we're about to get you to
Help us with is not a nasty, obscene song
It is a love song, from a
Slightly different point of view
That's all and before
We sing it we just want to bring
You a little message of peace, prosperity
And hope in such a trouble world today
But Reverend Jim has a few things
He thinks could work to solve our
World problems and our world tensions"

"First of all
We send all the presidents of the
Savings and loans associations over to
Run the country of Iraq that would solve
Two problems right there and world peace
I've got an answer for world peace we take
The money that it'd cost us to
Build just one B-1 bomber
That one that doesn't work we change it
Into five dollar bills we put
All of this money
Into bags and we fly over the Atlantic Ocean
Past Europe because they're getting
Their shit together
Anyway we drop this money on the
Russian people all those little tiny pictures
Of Abraham Lincoln come tumblin' down
Out of the sky i want
Them to feel those sawbucks
In their hands you know how your
Money feels when you accidentally
Leave it in your blue jeans
And you take it out
And it's all warm and soft
Oooh! Well we let those
Russian people hang on
To that money for about a week and
Then we fly back over there we
Fill our airplanes full of
Mail order catalogs from LL bean
From up in Columbus, sporty's Pilot Shop and
Victoria's Secret! The
Russian people have this money in their hand
The catalogs come down they
Look at those pictures
On the opening pages of the Victoria's Secret
Catalog, not back in the outdoors section
You know what I'm talking
About right? They got the money
They got the catalogs
They're going to get the idea they send
All the money back to us to buy the
Stuff we have full employment
There's world peace
And the Russians have crotch less underwear
Through the twenty-first century! Thank you!"

"So I hope you have no hesitation
About joining us in this
Song as I said, it is just a love song
From a different point of view"
