SONGS AND STORYS ABOUT LIFE
Lyrics
FANTASIA
I am just a simple man - I sometimes fail to understand,
Just how I fit into the plan - when nobody really gives a damn,About me.
Evangelists are on T.V. - Exude an air of purity,
When money sent from you and me - helps them live in the lap of luxury,
Tax free.
The crooked politician schemes - to sell constituents the dream,
The system's better than it seems- ignoring all the screams,
Of the electorate.
High above in the blue - bright morn- Gabriel lugs His awesome horn,
Waiting for command to launch on warning.
In hospices of glass and stone - our elderly face death alone,
The children toss them like a bone - into the jaws of never-ending twilight.
The doctor asks you for your name - when you enter his walk - in chain,
Could give a damn if you went lame - if you don't have the number,
On the insurance claim -- to pay him.
Oh the sins of Saddam's men - cried all the outraged citizens,
Raped daily by the fountain pen - too ignorant to see.
You fight to keep us living free - do battle for democracy,
You come back to hippocracy - and have to wade through the bureaucracy,
To get what they promised.
Attorneys who can legally - foul up the air.. pollute the sea,
Can see to it that Justice will stay blind.
I am just a simple man - I sometimes fail to understand,
Just how I fit into the plan - when nobody really gives a damn,
About me.
J. Lee Paulet 1993
