Nellie McKay - Toto Dies lyrics
And when the dawn breaks through the drums start beating the morning to the farm your grimace widens and your lips part sounding the silent alarm and when the bells explode they scatter hitching a hand unto the breeze the grand bureaucracy grows fatter whistling the old melodies oh-ee-oh goes the Buckingham jewel guard oh-ee-oh goes the cop on the beat oh-ee-oh goes the kid in the schoolyard oh-ee-oh goes the kid on the street Hey man whats happenin with you? I watched that episode too maybe Ill get some Chinese Ill have the dumplings no MSG please And when the night breaks through they wonder if all they lost was self-respect they pass the homes of greed and plunder still, lingring on, the disconnect oh-ee-oh sittin down for the evening oh-ee-oh through the civil earthquake oh-ee-oh safe in bed and theyre dreamin heaven knows if theyll ever awake Yeah Ill have my coffee black hey look were bombing Iraq I guess thats the only way oh did I tell you we got Fifi spayed? and when they get to work they hear drums the boom fills all the empty space they file papers lada-dee-dum trimming their shoebox with lace oh-ee-oh but theres somethin a growin oh-ee-oh through the bustle and hiss oh-ee-oh fuck the lawns that need mowin oh-ee-oh there is somethin amiss oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh |
