Well he set out for his desert throne | |
With a manic grin | |
And a hand carved set of games that no one could win | |
The angels also provided a wife | |
To whom he could dictate for life | |
Well this Eve was like no other | |
Her last husband, she said, was her son and her lover | |
And possibly even also her brother | |
You could tell that this Eve had been around | |
From the canyons on her face | |
Which converged to form an enomous frown | |
She said she'd rather not hang around | |
And would just as soon head across | |
To the quiet side of town | |
Lay low, close to the ground | |
Till this thing about the apple calmed down | |
In the end a few undisclosed promises brought her around | |
And together they moved to his desert town | |
Where he set about building a seven year clock | |
And redesigning blinds, boxes and blocks | |
Next day | |
He called a meeting of those near and dear | |
And those who would come out of fear | |
His wife was there | |
But again she'd been drinking | |
And appeared at the same time | |
To be standing and sinking | |
While those in fear, who numbered somewhat more | |
Kept moving about the floor, holding their breath | |
Close to the door | |
There were some notable absentees | |
Einstein was gone | |
His enormous organ | |
Would never again say 'Guten Morgen' | |
But at least the remaining crew | |
Were easy to dictate to | |
My friends I have assembled you all here today | |
To pave the way - yes pave the way | |
Toward everlasting peace and equal pay | |
The man who excuses himself | |
Accuses himself | |
I am not that man | |
I make no excuses | |
I'm back, I'm better | |
I have fresh funding and a brand new deal | |
With universal appeal | |
We're going all the way to the top this time | |
Only this time we stop on top! | |
Power corrupts! | |
A voice spoke up | |
On this first day | |
I suspect this god has feet of clay | |
Kill that stranger and be quick - I tire of such people, they make me sick | |
Why power is to truth what history is to song | |
It all depends on what you're looking for and where you're looking from | |
And which side you happen to land upon | |
The explosion was in the suitcase | |
But the suitcase missed the plane | |
I find it more comfortable to travel by train | |
You know what I say is true | |
And I blame it all upon the color Blue | |
From now on it will be called Not Green | |
I think you know how I feel and just what I mean. |
