call nine eleven! call nine eleven!
\nhello hello my friend was just bitten by a snake
\ncalm down lady, where was he bitten
\non his left cheek it is bright red with a hole in the center!
\nthis commercial brought to you by Ivory soap 99.9% pure
\nnow a song from the doodle do do’s doh doh<\/p>\n
oh those little goddlings are at it again
\nthis one dispatching lightening bolts
\nthat one raining down fire unless yer his friend
\nthe other threatening to destroy the universe
\nread my mind dearlings
\nany god worth his’en or her’en salt
\nsurrenders lovingly to any demon’s snarls
\n(or like my favorite one would crack a joke)<\/p>\n
play the drums Tom Tom Tom
\nnow the fife Mike the son
\nstick a candle of courage in her chest
\ncome stay play a little longer
\ntake of those hats and throw them in the corner
\nyet another day is dawning
\ndid you bring your keyboard Ragtime man?<\/p>\n
carry me back to old no where
\nremember me to old square joe
\ni’m off to join the chanting voices
\n“we ain’t gonna take it anymore”
\ndon’t want an eye for an eye
\ndon’t wanna turn my cheek again
\njust gonna tell it like it is
\ntoes, when stepped on, hurt
\nunless by chance
\none’s teaching a child to dance
\nthat ain’t so heavy
\nany child is every child.<\/p>\n
i’m torn i’m tired and i’m weary
\nsorry secluded but sound
\nof mind\/spirit if not body<\/p>\n
the pentagon announces
\nit can fight two wars at the same time
\nthe sports announcer’s voice is frenzied
\nhow else to whip it up
\nfore say what
\nis being whipped up?
\nUS is already fighting two!<\/p>\n
please don’t ask me of manana
\ntoday is heavy enough<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
