In san francisco you can be mayor at 18

But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab

What goes on

To their country

Refine

When everything we lean on

|
To mask the smell of burning flesh

Back in ancient Rome

The statues were unscrewed

|
Cover up
|
Refine
|
We are
|
In life
|
Roulette wheel
|
Or the ball inside

|
Anyone out there stopped to think
|
What our lives might be like today
|
If Karl Marx was as good a salesman
|
As Walt Disney
|
|
The bacon brought
|
You home to cook
|
The lobster lets
|
Itself get boiled
|
Looks too hard to climb
|
Out of the pot with all the crabs
|
Fear the unknown
|
Who taught you that?

One hundred million trees a year
|
Get made into junk mail no one reads

No one wants the Pentagon
|
Toilets for six hundred bucks
|

|
On pinball as defense
|

Meanwhile concerned citizens
|
In Albany, Oregon
|
Try to ban a book
|
'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus
|

We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls

Wowee...
