Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit

Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag

To conclusions of the book we are both reading

They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
C E
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think

How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
C E Am
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones

You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws

Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw

On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades

You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played

On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots

Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied

There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
