  • [ music: john lombardo/lyric: natalie merchant ]
  • Why are some men born
  • With minds that earn degrees
  • The loving cups
  • Gilded plaques
  • Grace their study walls
  • Hide the cracks
  • While their genius is turned
  • To works of tyranny then
  • Off to market to market
  • Go selling these
  • With words so fiery and persuasive
  • They steal cunningly
  • Riches no one can exceed
  • And why are some men born
  • With a fate of poverty
  • One firm bed
  • For a swollen back
  • Year by year
  • The bodies wracked while
  • Their obedience is had
  • With gradual defeat
  • By the pace by the pace
  • And the urgency
  • Through a muddled thought
  • They phrase it
  • God knows were deceived
  • Barter for
  • What they need
  • And where they go
  • Disdain and jeering
  • For fools to call
  • The noble peasantry
  • O how it puzzles me
  • I pressed flat the accordion pleats
  • That had gathered in his cotton sleeves
  • While he thumbed
  • Yes thumbed I wouldnt say caressed
  • The final piece
  • A mountains crest
  • Soon to reply assuredly
  • O for man aged ninety years
  • No words to waste on sermons
  • Hed be pleased to answer
  • Short and sincere
  • Girl theres a nonsense
  • In all these heaven measures
  • Its a heathen creed
  • So your grandma says
  • But better to live by...
  • Drink it all in before its dry
  • He ended there with a rattle
  • Cough cough
  • I took away the long gone cold coffee cup
  • As a trail of camel ashes fell
  • On the floor
