Too Much Rope |
| When the sleigh is heavy |
| And the timber wolves are getting bold |
| You look at you companions |
| And test the water of their friendship |
| With your toe |
| They significantly edge |
| Closer to the gold |
| Each man has his price Bob |
| And yours was pretty low |
| History is short, the sun is just a minor star |
| The poor man sells his kidneys |
| In some colonial bazaar |
| Ce sera sera |
| Is that your new Ferrari car |
| Nice, but I think I’ll wait for the F50 |
| You don’t have to be a Jew |
| To disapprove of murder |
| Tears burn my eyes |
| Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope |
| Preacher or poet who was it wrote |
| Give any one species too much rope |
| And they’ll fuck it up And last night on TV |
| A Vietnam vet |
| Takes his beard and his pain |
| And his alienation twenty years |
| Back to Asia again |
| Sees the monsters they made |
| In formaldehyde floating 'round |
| Meets a gook on a bike |
| A good little tyke |
| With the same soldier’s eyes |
| Tears burn my eyes |
| What does it mean |
| This tearjerking scene |
| Beamed into my home |
| That it moves me so much |
| Why all the fuss |
| It’s only two humans being |
| It’s only two humans being |
| Tears burn my eyes |
| What does it mean |
| This tender TV |
| This tearjerking scene |
| Beamed into my home |
| You don’t have to be a Jew |
| To disapprove of murder |
| Tears burn in our eyes |
| Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope |
| Preacher or poet who was it wrote |
| Give any one species too much rope |
| And they’ll fuck it up |
