a piggly wiggly proverb
there's all these fancy people
every sunday
headin' for the town steeple
gonna go talk to the air
feel better
make life fair
see
they hand out money
to make the air happy
sing songs
they don't know the words to
but i can't fret
over what they do
as long as it don't become a reason
to kill thy neighbor
next crusade season
and i've read a line or two
out of that there holy book
and i'm pretty sure
them fancy people
have given it a look
and from my readin'
i never saw
killing thy enemy
is universal law
so all you fancy people
don't tell me how it’s done
wars ain't settled with many a gun
but with
down home cookin'
and back alley fun.
