Lone Star |
I’m walking under the Lone Star |
Along the rocks and the shiny black water |
At the end of a pier a woman is alone, hands folded, praying |
I left her alone, I didn’t feel comfortable staying |
Inside of all of us, this pain, we pity ourselves |
Boo fuckin' hoo |
Well guess what, you fucking asshole? |
It ain’t all about you |
There are people in this world who have dead children |
They’re deeply grieving |
So quit your bitching, you poor little minor victim |
That woman on the pier was suffering something heavy |
Her eyes were drippin' with tears |
I’m 49 years old and let me tell you something |
I’m intuitive, my dear |
I gave her space, and in my throat was a lump |
And I watched her from a nearby secluded place for an hour and a half and made |
sure she didn’t jump |
Cars beating down the Carquinez Bridge |
Shit coming out the smokestack |
Trains coming down the train tracks |
Starbucks on my walk back |
Cars beating down the Carquinez Bridge |
Shit coming out the smokestack |
Trains coming down the train tracks |
Starbucks on my walk back |
Planted some cacti by the picnic table |
Where the little grey cat is cutely cradled |
And the orange California poppy |
Sniffing the euphoric scent of the Eucalyptics tree |
Walked past the 7−11 I went to the taco truck |
Sunny California day, no rain in April, good luck |
Pet my two favorite cats, they’re so cute in their usual tucked away spaces |
They’re so cute, I want to eat their faces |
This part of the song sounds like a beautiful Cameron Crowe film score |
Jimmy Page-influenced, or a Nancy Wilson |
All three artists whom I deeply adore |
One December under the Christmas tree |
Heart’s Dream Boat Annie and Led Zeppelin III |
That’s the way it ought to be |
That’s the way it ought to be |
I was banned by a church leader from playing a city in the state of Texas |
Said he heard from this dude that they read that I was sexist |
I said guess what, San Antonio, Texas? |
I still love you, you Jack Johnson-born and bred state of the country, |
very best barbecue |
Gonna ban me from San Antonio? |
No you don’t |
I’m gonna be back and play a show and get me some tacos |
At Rosario’s |
And North Carolina, let me tell you something |
I reiterate, you take the cake |
For the most beautiful of all hillbilly states |
But you won’t let a transgender use a bathroom of their choice? |
What kind of bullshit is that, you good old hillbilly boys |
Gonna play a show in Chapel Hill next year, you’ll see |
And all transgenders are invited, I’m gonna let them get in for free |
And they can use the men’s bathroom in the venue if they used to be a girl |
And they can use the women’s bathroom in the venue if they used to be a boy |
What the fuck is it to you |
They’re worthy of dignity and respect and use of any goddamn toilet |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Why are you fucking wearing that shit? |
(fuck!) |
Got me some friends over there and they’re good smart hillbillies |
Billy and Chucky and Kimmy and Bobby and Becky |
They don’t support this transgender law |
They’ll be driving to my show in Chapel Hill from Asheville |
I’m from Ohio and therefore I’m a hick |
Call me one, and I won’t be offended by it |
Hicks and hillbillies, unite and get along |
Rednecks, bury your axe with transgenders and be strong |
Rednecks, bury the axe with transgenders and be strong |
Rednecks, bury the axe with transgenders and sing along |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
Rednecks, lighten up and amend transgender law |
When Donald Trump becomes president |
Blame it on Facebook, Yelp and reality TV |
And Twitter and Uber and Google and video games and every other thing that has |
turned this country |
Into a bunch of dumbed-down slaves of technology |
We wanted dumb headlines, well baby, we got it |
We wanted instant gratification, right well baby, we got it |
We wanted stupid entertainment, baby, we asked for it |
This dumb motherfucker will be on the news every fucking day |
And we willed it |
He is a hundred percent full-on our creation |
He is proof that we choose apps over education |
He is proof of our mind-numbing Internet obsession |
He’s the result of our dumb-fuck-starin'-at-our-phones attention span |
limitations |
People sittin' around hatin' on Donald Trump |
We can’t face it, but we asked for this junk |
Not directly, but we fail to see |
How our stupidity willed him into candidacy |
Go ahead and take your smartphone out |
Send a tweet to the world and pout pout pout |
We planted the seed, and it’s come to its fruition |
Make no mistake, Donald Trump is our creation |
Go ahead and have your 'Oh my fucking God' reaction |
When he’s elected, threaten to move to Vancouver, Canada, or Athens, Greece |
As George Carlin said one night, «I believe you have to be asleep |
To believe in the American Dream» |
So all of us zone the fuck out a minute, get some popcorn, watch some Trump |
Check your Facebook and keep up with the Kardashians |
