John Leon - Chronic Mesopotamian News
Used up all my second chancesGone with the wind with my old romances
God from machine to New York and back, says
Occupy the streets saying
What on Earth went wrong
Geezers teach through cockeyed lenses
Conmen and thieves hand out maxed out sentences
Ma and the priest say, "Do what the man says"
But all I've got to say to them is
What on Earth went wrong
What on Earth went wrong
Trying to blame it all on me
Trying to tell me how to be
And the papers
Are trying to pin it all on them
And it's brought to you by me and them
Lepers lean on books of standards
Waving their canes at the hand out handlers
Riled by the steam from cracked tea pot kettles
And all the leaves are saying
What on Earth went wrong
Newborns stare at funhouse mirrors
Retaking looks that can't get no clearer
To the sound of the hum of them disappearing
And just above the noise you hear
What on Earth went wrong
What on Earth went wrong
Born and dead on demand
Phone smarts in their hands
And on their split screens
Stands the Commander in Chief
Saying 'get up and beat the Chinese'
Actors placed in suits and stances
Read from their book of quotes from class acts
Tossing their name into the ass hat
Come November we'll be saying
What on Earth went wrong
God, our king, newly appointed
Stands on three legs with his subordinates
For generals who need new coordinates
And the fortunate five hundred
What on Earth went wrong
Legions
Sent off to a foreign land
Off to new Vietnam
And their leader
Secretary of Defense, Caesar
Says he's trying to bring them home, it ain't easy
Hot necks rant 'bout urban "tookers"
Book worms point their nose at winged words
And liberal lips conserve their good looks
But they're all no good onlookers so
What on Earth went wrong
Studied scholars never learn
Airwaves play four lettered words
And the world don't twist and and shout, it turns
So come the next day I'll be saying
What on Earth went wrong
What on Earth went wrong
What on Earth went wrong
