There's A Butcher On The Podium Playing War Radio
Seen some things
Had tiny wings
But sunk and sang
So Lov-e-ly
Stalled at dawn
But carried on
With little fuel
But troubled songs... (2x)
Come fall apart
Ye gentle hearts
These kitten fists
Must not depart
Tangled lovely, wounded hearts
Fall apart
To fall apart
This little bat
Has a furnace in its prow,
and guts that gleam
where hope allows... (3x)
This old heart's
full a dwindled fire,
and yard s 'pon yards
of tangled wire (2x)
Seen some things
Had tiny wings
But sunk and sang
So Lov-el-y
Stalled at dawn
But carried on
with little fuel
But troubled songs
Choke and sting
with tiny wings
that rise and sink
so lov-e-ly
sleep thru dawn
and carry on
with little fuel
but fighting songs...
There's a butcher on the podium on the podium,
singing war-radio
Pipebomb in a knapsack
on the 3:15 to Buffalo
Freedom's grinning like she's sick,
pretty as a wilted rose
preaching in the parking lot
with 13 busted microphones...
Had a daydream 'bout democracy
But I swear some things are awful
Copcars 'long our boulevards,
watchtowers line our broken roads
Freedom's grinning like she's sick
Pretty as a wilted rose
Stranded at the bus-stop
With a rusted dime and all new clothes
All them disco-dancing orphans
doing pirouettes on broken toes.
at the motherfucking telethon,
singing war radio...
Panic on the interstate
Cannot find the open road
Dead men at the pizza hut,
singing war radio...
Notes
This song was performed during the War Radio shows ASMZ did in the fall of 2005, of which an excellent bootleg can be found over here.
