1.
A grizzly scene on my electron beam/ Told a story about human rights/ So all of King's horses and all of King's men/ Had a riot for two days and nights/ Well the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open/ So the company asked him to quit/ Now everybody's equal/ Just don't measure it/ Well Hanson did it to Hester/ And Mark David did it to John/ And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn/ But he did it to South Vietnam/ For beauty and glory/ For money love and country/ Now everybody's doing it/ Don't do that to me/ A bitter debate and a feminine fate/ Lie in tandem like two precious babes/ While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters/ Except on the nation's airwaves/ And custodians of public opinion stayed back/ After vainly discussing her rights/ Lay hands off her body/ It's not your fucking life/ Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ/ From turning every hungry stone into bread/ And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted/ When the innocent first born sons lay dead/ Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative/ Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea/ Now everybody's praying/ Don't pray on me/
2.
Evelyn sits by the elevator doors/ It's been 37 years since James died on St. Patrick's Day in 1964/ But she could not hold it against him/ There were times when there was nothing she could do/ But lie in bed all day beside a picture of them together/ A picture of better days/ And just like James I'll be drinking Irish tonight/ And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever/ Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight/ If we're never together if I'm never back again/ Well I swear to God that I'll love you forever/ Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight/ In all the years that went by/ She said she'd always love him/ And from the day that he died/ She never loved again/ And in his wallet she kept in her nightstand/ An AA card and a lock of red hair/ She kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart/ It killed a part of her before the rest was gone/ She said "If I would have known just how things would have ended up/ I just would have let myself die."/ And just like James I'll be drinking Irish tonight/ And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever/ Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight/ If we're never together if I'm never back again/ Well I swear to God that I'll love you forever/ Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight/
3.
Does being in debt feel just like a long lost friend/ Well just wait around cause the desperation's kicking in/ And its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction/ And it's called I’ll be getting by and I’ll make ends meet/ Does the forty hour week have you bent at the knees/ And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach/ Ever get that funny feeling that your future is not going to be bought cheap/ And that for sale sign that’s hanging on your neck might as well spell defeat/ Yeah its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction/ And it's called I’ll be getting by and I’ll make ends meet/ Does the forty hour week have you bent at the knees/ And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach/ My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it/ My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it/ My American dream is to have it a little bit better than it’s just a force habit/ My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it/
