Jitterbugging With Jezebel

 Jitterbugging With Jezebel

 

One two three four

Dancing sweetly on the floor

Take you partner twist her round

Hold her tightly on the ground

 

One two three four

Soldiers marching off to war

 

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Cinderella riding your pumpkin coach

And shoes that snugly fit

Fairy tail propaganda

Counterfeit 

 

Insatiable - psychotic politicians pondering power

Starvation - junkyard dog gnawing at a tin can

Desperation -  gruesome wallflower lusting for a prom date

Longing for more ---

 

One two three four

Soldiers marching off to war

Wait they've used that line before

 

Say hey whispers Uncle Sam

Don't you know who I Am?

I'm the red, white and blue

Got stars in my eyes too

and I WANT YOU!

 

There was a man so mild and meek

Who taught us love and to turn the cheek

In his name they love to speak

The sky is gray and the future bleak

 

One two three four

Bankers divvying up the score

 

Poetry has become irrelevant

Says the preacher quoting psalms

God has become irrelevant

Mocks mammon making bombs

 

One two three four

Four Men from the Hay Market

Four Men from the Hay Market

May 4, 1886: Haymarket Tragedy

 

Four men

Who defied unjust laws

Four men

Who fought for our cause

Four men

Condemned to die

The damning testimony

From witnesses being paid to lie

 

Four men

Hoods over their head

Four men

Soon to be dead

Four men

From the gallows an angry word

If your listen real hard

Their voices can be heard

 

Albert Parsons

August Spies

Adolph Fischer

George Engel

 

Four men like you and I

Truth be said

The rich men are glad they are dead

As is the state

Full of contempt and hate

But that truth I deny

 

George Engel

Adolph Fischer

August Spies

Albert Parsons

 

Four men

They are alive and well

Four men their story we tell

Four men

Slaughtered in an angry rage

Will live into every age

They are alive upon this page

 

The battle for a just Earth

The fight for what is right

No matter how we suffer or hurt

We won’t bow down to their might

 

I curse you cowards hiding behind a wall

I curse you cowards seeking to take it all

Your evil dreams and wicked schemes

Are not as powerful as it seems

For men will fight be they great or small

And we shall answer

To those four men who still call

 

This is the message that we hear

Resonating eternally clear

We are not slaves but forever free

And we have a right to live decently

 

Four men who fought for all men

Let the battle rage once again

What do we have to lose but our pain

And everything to gain 

Poet To The Poor

I Ain’t Dead

I Ain’t Dead

 

Sally was a sweetheart with a permanent smile                     

She had holes in her jeans but only for style                         

One day I’m going to catch a bus going west                       

Gonna go to the Promised Land it’s the best                         

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

They used to mockme right in front of my face

But I found Jesus Christ overflowing with grace

Sally would give a goodbye kiss never to budge

Losers are winners but tell me who’s to judge

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

Sally wants to be a starlet she has her goals

The road is rough especially if it got holes

The director said this movie is rated X

Sally walked out the door she needed respect

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

I remember reading how King Saul was an unhappy flake

David was going to be king and that was hard to take

And God sits on His throne watching it all go down

But where was God when Traci Lords walked into town?

 

Sally went to Berkley to study philosophy

Her final exam was “What was Jim Morrison’s reality?”

Sally still laughs but it ain’t loud anymore

I believe in winning but how do you score

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead
