Lyrics The State Will Take Care Of Me - Cass McCombs

The State Will Take Care Of Me

You taught me alphabet and technique
You baptized me in the cool creek
I think in English through and through
And all thanks to you
I inherited your calloused skin
And when I left, I thought I’d never sin
Independent, but not necessarily
Now on, the state will take care of me
We’ll see who laughs last
A child’s smile curves up the graph
Render unto Caesar what is his
Ah, it is what it is
Now I’m a life force of my own
I can intiate another drone
Until it decides it can no longer sit
Then, the state will take care of it
