Lyrics Crutches -

Crutches

Despite their threats, I had no bucks to pay
And they’d broken my spine at the end of the fray
The surgeon frowned in disgust and dismay for the x-rays revealed my destroyed
vertebrae
I can’t walk, I can’t walk, I can’t walk, I can’t walk:
I’ll forever need crutches to give me support
I’m an object of laughter, an object of sport
But I really don’t care, ‘cause I’m comfortable with my crutches
Throughout the country, the healer was known
So he smiled and reclined on his ivory throne
His disciples and minions snatched my crutches from me
And they laughed and they sneered as I fell to my knees
You can walk, you can walk, you can walk, you can walk:
You don’t need to rely on any means of support
You’re an object of laughter, an object of sport if you keep on deluding
yourself that you need your crutches
Before they broke the news, they broke my crutches over my head
And a fractured rain of splinters showered me with dread
And when the bough breaks
The baby comes a-tumbling in its wake…
My crutches broken, my anger did blaze
So I swung with my fists and I raged and I raged
I was kicking their heads, I was throttling them good
‘til I noticed that without assistance I stood
I stood
I could walk, I could walk, I could walk, I could walk
There’s no need to rely on any means of support
But today if I see any props of that sort:
Both of my legs still go weak at the sight
Of crutches
