Tom Levin performing "Pull Yourself Together" from the album "Them Feet". www.tomlevin.com
Directed and edited by Robert Nordgren.
Thank You DPS.se for your support!

The lyrics are inspired by how people in the south (in the U.S.) are very good at letting someone know, in a polite way, when they are behaving like an idiot. I wrote the song because I had to get my disappointment with certain peoples' behavior out of my system. "Bless his heart" takes the edge off almost any insult and sometimes makes it sound like a compliment. And at the end of the day...maybe I feel just a little sorry for them...bless their hearts.
If you or anyone you know ever needs to tell someone they are being a total jackass...just send them this song ;-)

Hold your ignorant horses before they drag us all down
There's a circus in town and I'm sure they're in need of a clown
You and your posse are clueless and without a plan
I believe you should learn how to sit before you take a stand
Pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how

They say you're hard as a rock, I get a feeling you're twice as smart
If you're the brightest bulb on the tree then it must be quite dark
Why don't you, pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how

Oh, oh, my
You're, you're so smart
Oh, oh, my
Good Lord, bless your heart

Pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how
Pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how

Just being yourself you make every one else look so good
You're the poster boy for white crackers and peckerwoods
Pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how

I'm gonna take the high road, but don't think I don't give a damn
Count yourself lucky that I'm still a peaceful man
Pull yourself together now
Pull yourself together some how

Oh, oh, my
You're, you're so smart
Oh, oh, my
Good Lord, bless your little heart
