Two Years Later. . .
how the singers reach for their sheet music in the dark.
government sniffing at my door.didn't i pay the rent already?
everyone is raising themselves up off the floor
pundits and practical folks, philosophers and wits
they gonna dance at Ground Zero
New York City style
they gonna wag their tails and sing their tunes
I got my new anti terrorism bill this morning
i crawled under my door all by its lonesome
i couldn't quite figure what language it wanted to be
two years later
the smirking cowboys in D.C. they seem dedicated
to destroying terrorism more than ever
go go go go go i say wanting all terror to never show up again
never dug it much, terror, found it very inhibiting
I met Afghanistan and Iraq in the lobby
they were looking for a friend
I said I could be that guy but I just gotta run
going down to where the peace treaties claim they thrive
going down to where the sustenance rides
two years ago tomorrow
for one unique second
the entire planet empathized with Washington D.C.
two years later
they got cracks in the water bucket
go go go go go
round up terror, shove it in a sack, take it down to ground
zero NYC and get your photo taken.
knock knock.who's there? Ashcroft.Ashcroft what?Ashcroft gonna kick your ass unless you
walk right.
don't kick my ass,please.I work five days a week and I need it.
go go go go go
i pick up my wounded saxophone
i don't know how to play it
i put my lips to it
and begin to blow
