Grandma Says Video (MV)

Grandma says put down that guitar
That guitar won't get you far
It might just bring you misery
Rough seas uncertainty

Grandma says put down that paintbrush
That brush won't get you much
Why not stick to painting by numbers?
Numbers you can count on

Numbers you can count on
Like one plus one is two
Till death do us part
A formula to stick to

Stay away from the edge
Don't stray from the path
If you Keep painting rough seas
Then rough seas might follow you

Grandma says take off those DM boots
Why not try on a sharp suit?
That you can judge a man by his watch and shoes
You could be somebody
To Rely on

Grandma says get a nine to five
That routine will help you strive
Toward a functional family
You don't want a dysfunctional family

Grandma says take it from one who knows
That's how the story goes
He waved farewell at the harbor
Aboard an oceanic liner

Playing his guitar sweet melody
Into the sunset
Out to sea
It set off
It set off

As the ripples, they grew larger
The ship disappeared into the sun
Those ripples hit the harbor
Last traces of their father

I can see their sad faces
Amidst the silence and the sun
The old world had left the harbor
The new world had just begun

As I put sugar into my tea
Those ripples they remind me
And I'm filling in my job search diary
I wonder what the adviser can advise me

Perhaps they will be wise like Grandma
With advice on life's mystery
Teach me that ripples out at sea
Reach us eventually

Grandma says put down that guitar
That guitar won't get you far
It might just bring you misery
Rough seas uncertainty

Clock in at nine
Pension if you're lucky at five
Then clock off
