lyrics

Jokey was no traitor
And he liked to go to war
Pulled his socks up
Pushed the buttons
Then walked out the door

Threw his arms up in a panic
Tossed and tossed and turned
A majorette in a minor’s hat
The man this world has earned

Broke my finger pointing out his wrongs
I became a singer hoping you would sing along

Though I wear my tongue tied tightly
‘Cuz I find my words are frightening
Though I where my tongue tied tightly
‘Cuz I find my words are mighty

He’s got a rifle
He’s got a handle
His butterfly nets, his shaving kits
Are tucked away in plastic
If the train waits
The German states
“Your umbrella’s out of nitrous”
Then I’m outta here
I’m outta here

Broke my finger pointing out his wrongs
I became a singer hoping you would sing along

Though I wear my tongue tied tightly
‘Cuz I find my words are mighty
