Michael Merenda: Listen
Dead Feathers
(from the album "Quiver")
Dead Feathers
Dead feathers and asparagus charms
Over flow my yard
Single moms with their second hand lives
Are livin’ off their credit cards
Parasites, red, white and blue
Have hi-jacked my alarms
And no one comes to rescue you
Just a fool with broken arms
Nothin makes it any easier
And no one knows the reason for
or who’s in charge
Seven soldiers, seven smoking guns
And seven false reports
While the men in charge are making out
Like bandits in their boxer shorts
Songs they flicker through the air and die
But not before they live
The prostitute she knows she’s in for life
She’s got nothin to figive
Nothin makes it any easier
And no one knows the reason for
and never did
Kiss my ass, you SOB
I love to say those words
To the evil corporatocracy
Profiteering off fried birds
Still lookin for that nicotine-free-cigarette
That tobacco tastes so good
Phillip Morris, he ain’t thought of that yet
He wouldn’t do it if he could
Nothin makes it any easier
And no one knows the reason for
And never should
