Quirky rock song about phony celebrities who fool the world into thinking they're special. With an uptempo jogging/workout beat in the verses and a slow epic feel in the choruses. Production suggestive of an infomercial. With acoustic and electric guitars, piano, bass, synth drums, organ. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version.

| Lyrics: | Go for it You're on your way to another hit Your bandmates hate you, you don't give a shit You know the formula and don't fuck with it Go for it You write the lyrics and they really groove The women love you and your crazy moves You always act like you got something to prove Go for it, and Keep running sleepy Keep running He's the man He is the man with the master plan To spread his gospel all across the land He heals the sick with just one touch of his hand He's the man His sci-fi novels always sell out quick The famous people really love his schtick The nasty habits that he's helped them kick He's the man Keep running sleepy Keep running sleepy The world is waiting for your next trick So make the most of it Make the most of it Hallelujah for these men They're human beings like everyone They've touched the world like only you and me could dream Ah men Yes you can Time to wake up, time to join the herd To learn the message and help spread the word To soar through life just like a Dodo bird Yes you can Keep running sleepy Keep running sleepy The world is waiting for the next trick So make the most of it Keep running sleepy Keep running sleepy The world is waiting for your next trick So make the most of it Make the most of it |

Zoo Pilot is a newly formed indie rock band based in Austin, TX. Comprised of former members of Sleep Station (Eyeball Records), Zoo Pilot combines the classic sounds of bands like the Beatles, Kinks and Zombies with modern indie-rock sensibilities to create a unique, timeless sound.
With Brad Paxton handling vocals and guitar and Josh Nichols on bass and drums, the group looks forward to bringing their diverse sound and often left-of-center lyrical themes to the many music fans of Austin and beyond.
They have lent their compositional and production talents to a number of television shows, including CBS's Cold Case, American Idol Rewind and the Showtime series Shameless. They record and mix their songs at Brad's home studio in South Austin.
