The year is 1959
and I know you don't want me drinking wine
but I'm halfway through the bottle
and so I scream and hit and miss,
misdemeanors, arrest-resists
and you say if I don't stop you'll start
a cause with no rebellion
but I'm not buying what you're selling,
door-to-door and safe as houses,
violence for churchmouses.
Marlon Brando's on the phone
and he won't leave well enough alone
and he shouts down the receiver
"Broadway's not seen the last of me",
a streetcar named insanity,
but I know I don't believe him,
a cause with no rebellion,
I'm not buying what they're selling,
door-to-door and safe as houses,
violence for churchmouses.

Wooden Hearts
01:22
|
|

Pretty girls are making clothes
and waging war on one another
while ugly boys are kept indoors
for piano lessons from their mothers
and they better get right on it
to beat the minor pentatonic.
In another neighborhood
my grandfather is shaping wood
and gets a chess set off his chest -
the first is usually the best attempt,
cricket parts for wooden hearts -
but I'm already over it before the over starts.

Crusades
01:00
|
|
||
Tell your friends to circle the wagons!
St George has left the castle,
he's gone to kill the dragons
and he probably won't be coming back alive,
through the Cappadocia Canyon,
fifteen thousand afterwards baptised!
And all diseases cured!
There was little-time for fact-checking,
mythology has lured
better men to worse fates,
stuck in history,
fighting their crusades.
