Edgar and the Hard Facts of Life

 Edgar and the Hard Facts of Life

 

At the train station

SUN peeping in the SKY

Edgar has a sensation!

To end it all and die

And he don’t know why,

                                      And he don’t know why,

And he don’t know why,

His whole life is a               LIE

But he’s getting bye

And as the TRAIN comes near

There’s great tension and FEAR

That he’ll JUMP ahead

Before the TRAIN

And wind up DEAD

                                FUTILE AND VAIN

 

 

Poor Edgar sold his soul

 

 

For an office with a view

But he’s miserable

Doesn’t even have a clue

His fundamental flaw

He dare not mention

For he is in AWE

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

MORE, MORE, MORE

He pimps out his mind

Life left him behind

 

 

Of that he is sure

Words Of Boiling Iron

 Words Of Boiling Iron

 

THOSE GOD DAMN BANKERS!!!

 

BABYLON THE WHORE!!!

 

Endless war!!

 

Don’t you know?

For all our woe

We can give them thanks

 

Edgar’s spirit deflated

Gone his smile

He feels vile

And hated

 

They want to build a shopping mall

As I recall

Profits, profits, profits

We must stop it

Or our paradise

Will be destroyed

Take me advice

We must rise

For righteousness

Hunger and thirst

I must confess

I hold

Earth First!

 

The old man with hair white as snow

His skin raging red below

Edgar feels naked

Far from sacred

His dirty little secret

Can he keep it???

Or does the Ancient Of Days already know?
