Lyrics:

I never seen you looking so bad
My funky one
You tell me that your superfine mind
Has come undone

Any major dude with half a heart
Surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart
Falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
Any major dude will tell you

Have you ever seen a squonk's tears?
Well, look at mine
The people on the street
Have all seen better times

Any major dude with half a heart
Surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart
Falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
Any major dude will tell you

I can tell you all I know
The where to go, the what to do
You can try to run
But you can't hide
From what's inside of you

Any major dude with half a heart
Surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart
Falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you

Any major dude will tell you
Any major dude will tell you

Genius is always underrated.... any major dude would tell you.

Any major dude will tell you modern music sucks.

[SPRPhilly]

This the song that got me into Steely Dan 21 years ago. I could tell you exactly where I was standing when I first heard it.  I was mesmerized.

[mjsmcd]

rare empathetic tone from the DAN instead of usual jaded view point

LIKE IT!

2 people have yet to be told by major dudes how good this is.

@samedwards196 KISS does not play music. They are a show only! To compare them to the Dan shows what your grasp, or lack thereof music is/not!!!!!

[thestarwriters]

@crwatkins1 I was just thinking the same thing when I was listening to this! Some of their songs sound a lot like this in my opinion too.

[ZbigBF]

...kinda has Zappa sound to the background...

[crwatkins1]

For some reason this song sounds like a Grateful Dead tune. Maybe I just need some sleep, or maybe it's the guitar lick at the end of the chorus.
