Do answers stop us

NOVEMBER 11, 2004
It is Remembrance Day in Canada
Veterans Day in the good old USA
I am working from the house
faxes come in and faxes go out
People write me nice letters and send
beautiful pictures through the computer
I say “I love technology”
And then I remember
In Fallujah today
people in tanks as big as trains
are pushing pretty red buttons
and blowing out real people’s brains
BUSH CONTROL
BUSH CONTROL
Here’s one for your southern values y’all
if you can’t manage to abstain
try early withdrawal
IRAQ AND BACK
IRAQ AND BACK
Your innocent children they took away
returning now as corpses or as killers
and you now learning how little
the difference between the two
ELEVATORS
ELEVATORS
Remembering
all those seed filled erections
in every town on the prairie
back when the west was young
IT’S A DATE
IT’S A DATE
Sometimes my ever loving mate
gets a little cranky when it gets late
It seems her “best before” date
is about a quarter past eight
FELINE A LITTLE CONFLICTED
FELINE A LITTLE CONFLICTED
Inside wanting out
or on outside wanting in
cat’s twenty two
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Prayer has power
if prayer gave Bush power
Pray now for wisdom
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH UPON
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH UPON
Everybody has their troubles
The twinkle of the star
is just its struggle
seen from afar
