Today's Lesson |
| Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream |
| A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans |
| Mr Sandman, he can recite today’s lesson in his sleep |
| He says there oughta be some kind of law against me going down on the street |
| And little Janie pipes up and she says |
| She says we’re gonna have a real good time tonight |
| Yeah, tonight |
| All right |
| Down the back of Janie’s jeans she had the jawbone of an ass |
| Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner |
| Trying to head her off at the pass |
| He sticks his head over the fence and yells something way too fast |
| It’s today’s lesson, something about the corruption of the working class |
| Little Janie walks up on the floor and she says |
| We’re gonna have a real good time tonight |
| Come on |
| Janie says we’re all such a crush of want half-mad with loss |
| We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn |
| We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched |
| We are told such monstrous lies |
| Janie wakes up and she says |
| We’re gonna have a real good time tonight |
| Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in respose |
| He digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her |
| clothes |
| He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie’s jeans, yeah |
| Mr Sandman the inseminator opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams |
| Little Janie wakes up and she says |
| We’re gonna have a real good time tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight |
| We’re gonna have a real good time |
| Come on, come on, come on |
| We’re gonna have a real good time |
