Recently heard the song. It kinda sucks. I'm disappointed. Oh well, at least the lyrics are still great.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

"You still wanna take me to prison...just because I won't trade humanity for patriotism."

Good Lord...these words really make the entire lyric sheet for both "Musicology" and "3121" look completely amateur. I've never really cared for the music to this song, but you can't deny the lyrics. He was in such a groove around this era...musically and lyrically. No one will ever touch him from '82 - '87...perhaps the finest 5 year stretch any artist has ever had.

Can anybody find the picture thread that someone did for this song a few years back?

It was easily one of the most thoughtful and inspired threads of this forum.


That was a long time ago and a lot of the image links don't work anymore ...
I'll see if I can't fix it. Here goes ...



Lana drew a picture in school 2day



One that made her mother cry



A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand



Standing by a child with no eyes



Washington reaction based upon revenge



Babies blown 2 kingdom come



Damn the logic, Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run



Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend



He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone



CAUSE HE lives in the same mind With the thought that says we all should be stoned



And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky



Whenever they're broken-hearted



Love is grown, seeds are sown. A fire don't burn unless it's started



Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light? A sophisticated man reduced to COMPETE in no-win situations that aren't right



Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)



U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet



Welcome 2 the rat race





Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light? A sophisticated man reduced to COMPETE in no-win situations that aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class, Maybe life would be alright



Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light...
