Like no one really knows what's
2+2
you can't always trust The
Man in Blue
you may think the work gone
mad
but baby they think it's you
Every candy store on the block
sells crack
every supreme court ruling
is 3 steps back
here's acid rain in the drinking
water,
but the goldfish they don't
talk back
This song is for Phil Oaks
who hung himself with a length
of rope
he took his job seriously,
he weren't no 9 to 5 folk
singer.
like the ones on MTV
that's what Kirk Kelly said
to me
on the corner of Clinton and
Houston Street where
Every candy store on the block
sells crack
every supreme court ruling
is 3 steps back
here's acid rain in the drinking
water,
but the goldfish they don't
talk back
I went down to the laundry
mat
there's a woman with a face
like a Siamese cat
trying to wash her only clothes,
the clothes on her back
she's in a St. Vincent's wheelchair,
but it look like St. Vincent
doesn't care
she's a 60lb skeleton in underwear
Mr. president
the nation doesn't look secure
are you sure what you spent
all our money for?
There's a great big hole
where the sky used to be
and there's an asshole
on my TV who says
"Act now you get nine issues
free
Plus an issue of women with
an eating disease@"
Every candy store on the block
sells crack
every supreme court ruling
is 3 steps back
there's acid rain in the drinking
water,
but the goldfish they don't
talk back
....let's not be goldfish now.
