  • 6x9 and counting down in one after the other
    They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
    Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
    And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

    Once you grab them by the pride their hearts are bound to follow,
    Their natural fear of anything less manly or less natural,
    Like gunless sheriffs caught on lonesome roads and live to tell it
    How hard it is for meaner men without the lead to sell it

    Only simple men can see the logic in whatever
    Smarter men can whittle down till you can fit it on a sticker
    Get it stuck like mud and bugs to names that set the standard,
    They'll live it like it's gospel and they'll quote it like it's scripture

    6x9 and counting down in one after the other
    They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
    Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
    And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

    Its no matter if they dress real nice and sit up straight and stupid
    And say their prayers in quiet ancient tongues
    They're no different that the ones who close their eyes
    And fall down to the ground
    And twitch just like their nerves have come undone

    So be it if they come to find out feeling good's
    As easy as denying that there's day or night at all
    Til what it takes to feel a thing seems so far out of reach
    They just claw their skin and grind their teeth and bawl Writer/s: JOHN COOLEY
