lyrics

Snaky Song

Little Father Nepotism takes you in his arms
he wants to be the boy who grew
when you were through
with wondering what came from underneath

All the girls you used to know
and kiss behind the shelter of your day
He’ll take your clothes and your betrothed
and make them in his image and his way

No wonder you look so forlorn inside this devil’s club
—the men they lie
They fall around the bearded young bear cub,
he’s down but he ain’t gonna die

Their platitudes are pieced together
monuments to rope and leather dances
Their weapons wrong their snaky song
will kill you before you’ve even had your chances...

Mother Ruth got no good proof
she just takes what she wants to from the papers
She’s listened for an hour to channel four
and now she doesn’t trust the neighbours

And now we’re here ’til we’re a hundred
clinging to a wasting rock, what reverie!
While most the others open eyes
take one good look then promptly die
—it’s everyone but you
