lyrics

[lyrics in []'s from "fences" by tom edge, w/ slight changes by me,
i.e. the profanity]

i am not amused
i'm way too old for this sort of thing
i lost my flair for that years ago
you couldn't possibly understand how you destroyed my flow
you're the man in my nightmares
you're the tumor in my head
you're the thorn in my tender foot
i wish to god you were dead
you couldn't possibly understand cause you've suddenly stolen all my hope
i just can't believe in you, and I AM NOT AMUSED
i used to be so controlled
i used to be so destroyed
i used to be so in love
but now i weep at the thought of ever seeing you again
i suck the oil from the flinty rock
i suck a lemon in spite of you
oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we fucked til the twilight's last gleaming
whose broad stripes and bright flinty rocks
whom we sucked that oil from the flinty rock
fuck america, fuck everyone
you fucked up my life

[no time to worry about my next meal
or whether i'm in style
no time to feel a shame i do not own
it robs my body of its smile
these fences around my soul are rusty daggers from days of old
these fences wreck my mind, i wanna fuck em up and shine
these fences round our souls are selfish daggers from days of old
these fences wreck my mind, i wanna fuck em up and shine
no time for sleepin my days away, that's just like holdin a grudge
no time to look too closely at ourselves, just let us
give to another love with love
these fences standing in our way STONEWALL
THEY GIVE US BLUES ALL THE DAY
AND TEAR OUR NIGHTS APART
some things can ... right to our backs and never give us rest
they're makin me bite a bite and scratch
hey we can never give our best
they're tellin us to bite and scratch and put our love to the test
when we hold up to the word of truth we shine like stars above
let us not make a secret of the good news
let us share his love with love]

song poetry dance art painting boring
and want another helping want another
you fucked up my life
i'd like you to go out and lick the oil from the flinty rock
...rusty cement as i plummet your head into a burning sea of death
and i go riding on my motorcycle
