The William Bates Hotel: May 2010

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Superstar country hick. Make it quick.
Flick your bic. That you lost.
It was tossed. Annihilated .
I’m so jaded. The future’s faded.

Reason is as reason is. There’s No pleasin’
quit your teasin’ Chipper’s choking
Infante smokin’ bobby cox he’s still hopin.
So am i. do or die. Do or die.

Trouble in the halls of congress.
I don’t care they are harmless.
Sign up For the coming wave.
The more you spend the more you save.
New world order it’s ok.
Light the oil let it burn.
Just another lesson learned.

If I die before I wake I pray the lord
your soul I take. Careful now please
don’t shake. Accept your fate. Delineate.
Watch out for the things you ate.
Look you better clean your plate.
Stealing home don’t be late.

Dust bowl darkened sky. Hang on to
the string you tied. Wicked winds
blowing fast. If you stop you will be last.
The beggars in the rodeo. They had to
let it all go. Time passed slow.
Waiting for the grass to grow. Grow. Grow.

The kingdom is so far from reach.
The ghosts are surfin at the beach.
Those who can’t I hear they teach.
One thing or another man.
Stop your whinning make a stand.
If you wanna see the promised land.
