lyrics

Picasso's painting portraits now,
the pregnant woman's crying
I adjust my headphones to drown out the sirens

as your private catastrophe unfolds on my homepage
if I had a hammer, would you bring the cross and nails?

I used to be a man of my word.

Here comes the genie with his wishes, and his o-so-tragic lamp.
You better listen, listen, listen to the conditions attached.

There's a price for everything, yeah, the piper's always paid,
if you're dressing up for candy, oh, you're dressing to get laid.

I used to be a man of my word.

Your idiot friend dissolves 200 years of Darwin,
call it progress, call it choice, but we're hunching down again.

Don't ask for my opinion, you always hated all things fake.
oh, I must be your true friend, it sure hurts to see you fail.

I used to be a man of my word.

He's stumbling and he's slurring now, demented and unhinged.
She's dancing like an accident already happening.

Oh, please don't make me do it, I can't bear that hateful hymn,
but you've got to keep them drinking, boy, so shut up and sing.

I used to be a man of my word.

He's painting portraits for stray dollars for the fat tourists on the bridge,
and I can't drown out her hollers but I never stop trying.

I missed you this morning, there's no telling when it comes.
These trophies of our freedom won at the cost of love.

I used to be a man of my word.
