about

Written October 1999

lyrics

Well if the nightengale could sing like Maurice Chevalier
It would be market war against the corporate larks
They would be workin' overtime like Engels and Marx
And I don't mean to demean, but I think all the while
Those business whelps need self-help like Samuel Smiles, ya see
Now hear this

Golly gee, I love it when things are the way they are supposed to be
The perfect picture, the exhausted thought
The considered sound to nail what it is you got
But more often than not and too often to tell
People sacrifice the sacred lookin' forward towards what it is that sells
Now hear this

Extra! Extra! The entertainment deluge I pray you will swim past the surface glass
For all the nonsense-ation proliferation everything smacks
Of a superficial surfeit of class
Well, I try to dive a mile deep everyday
Because the view at sea level hasn't changed in a decade
Or three. Now hear this

Hey baby, lemme go and show you how to sell 'em a load of clams
One thing I know, and one thing I don't
But I can't remember which is which and I don't wanna have to switch
Lemme offer you a nickel's worth of free advice
Don't solicit suggestions when you already know what's right
Now hear this

I'm happy, irregardless of the fabled, mislabeled garbage industry
'Cause I can write my mind and make up words
And live creative just as long as I preserve some kind of truth, some reality
And in this vein, lemme throw you a curve
Everybody gets the success that they deserve, ya see
I hear that
