Oh, I see what you did there, I see where you went!
How can the same men who sang this:
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles
Such are promises; all lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest
and this:
"Hang on to your hopes, my friend"
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
and even this:
It's the same old story, everywhere I go
I get slandered; libeled; I hear words I never heard in the bible
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine, two steps away from the county line
I'm just trying to keep the customer satisfied!
have written something as heavy-handed and dull as "A Most Peculiar Man?"
Someone might want to lend me a CD with music scripted within the last two decades, by the way.
