Napoleon's Hat |
| The barons of industry put inspiration on Hitler’s tongue |
| The next century crashed hard with a loud sound like a starting gun |
| It’s race for acquisition and to make more things that glow |
| I got a knack for dodging bullets and flying zeros |
| So I act like I am rich, try and make it my whole look |
| 'Cause poor people don’t exist when times are good |
| Mozart’s foster parents put cigarettes out in his ears |
| When he got old enough to stutter he said, I don’t listen but I-I-I can hear |
| The eloquence of traffic, yeah, the millpond’s sad lament |
| It’s a requiem of moments I keep living through them |
| But where’s the monster in the closet? |
| I can’t find the hangman inside his hood |
| I guess evil don’t exist when times are good |
| Doctor Oppenheimer winced when he felt the broken piece of his pace-maker |
| Unbuttoned his shirt on a subway platform clutching his chest while his vision |
| blurred |
| He saw the bane of his creation, the destroyer of the world |
| Yeah, truth can leap to solace or a life long bender |
| It’s like wading through a wasteland where a town you love once stood |
| You just cry each time you think of when times were good |
| Napoleon’s tailor dressed him in a giant hat and funny platform shoes |
| Saying anyone can be a hero you just got to force people to look up to you |
| So when you’re talking on a hotline to a suicidal soul |
| Don’t let your voice sound like hot coffee more like a scented pillow |
| And strive for understanding over being understood |
| Just don’t let yourself forget when the times get good |
| When the times get good |
