歌词

[00:15.52] There once was a man who just couldn't cry
[00:23.37] He hadn't cried for years and for years
[00:30.03] Napalmed babies and the movie 'Love Story
[00:37.63] For instance could not produce tears
[00:44.80] As a child he had cried as all children will
[00:52.26] But at some point the tear ducts ran dry
[00:59.63] He grew to be a man and the feces hit the fan
[01:05.90] Things got bad but he couldn't cry
[01:14.23] His dog got run over, his wife up and left him
[01:22.18] After that he got sacked from his job
[01:29.54] Lost an arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore
[01:37.04] But still not a sniffle and sob
[01:44.19] Well his novel was refused and his movie was banned
[01:51.52] And his biog Broadway show was a flop
[01:58.85] He was sent off to jail, you guessed it, no bail
[02:06.72] But still not a dribble or drop
[02:13.52] In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered
[02:21.78] And made to make licence plates
[02:28.77] Water and bread was all he was fed
[02:36.30] But not once did a tear stain his face
[02:43.44] Doctors were called in, scientists too
[02:50.52] Theologians were last and practically least
[02:57.81] They all agreed sure enough
[03:01.44] He was no cream puff
[03:05.46] But in fact an insensitive beast
[03:43.24] He was removed from jail and placed in a place
[03:51.60] For the insensitive and the insane
[03:58.34] He played lots of chess and he made lots of friends
[04:06.42] And he wept every time it would rain
[04:11.20] Once it rained 40 days and it rained 40 nights
[04:20.38] And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried
[04:27.70] On the 41st day he just passed away
[04:35.90] He just dehydrated and died
[04:46.49] He went up to heaven located his dog
[04:54.52] Not only that but he rejoined his arm
[05:01.06] Down below all the critics, they took it all back
[05:09.75] Cancer robbed the whore of her charm
[05:15.98] His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke
[05:23.53] The theologians were finally found out
[05:30.84] Right down to the ground, the prison burned down
[05:39.22] The earth suffered perpetual drought
[05:42.87] undefined
