Noah’s Flood

There’s nothing like good scotch
I’ve got an edge needs taken off
Before you put another notch 1
Before you throw that Molotov

Weird skies don’t lie
But that ain’t you
You’d rather comply
Than for right argue

You deserve what you get
As capitalism dies
Cold gin and warm spaghet
Third world diseases and flies

We exported our jobs
And imported their servitude
Did history tilt with punk rock gobs?
Did they even engineer our attitude?

I feel so rebellious
Though well past my prime
Viet Nam in HD – hellious
On the couch – my crime

I always thought I was born too late
The Summer of Love I was two
Though taught not to hate
Where’s Noah’s flood to start anew?

Going to Zuccotti Park

Flying on the corporate dime
Still trying to right a wrong
Eye focused on God’s time
Still believe in song

Playing their game
Side-stepping the slime
We all position for blame
A year after the crime

Going back to New York City
To start spreadin’ the news 1
Ooooo, isn’t it a pity 2
That we all gotta choose?

Sunday into LaGuardia
Midtown hotel
You try rhyming LaGuardia!
Subway to where capitalism fell

See some real heroes
Request Woody & Bob
Look at the columns of the Neros
And feel the pulse of the mob

Yeah, I’m going to Zuccotti
To see what I can see
Sip a hot-totty
Dance like a Cree
