LYRICS
Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout!
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
Your sperms in the gutter, your love's in the sink!

So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick!

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
The tidal destruction, the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled away

But your new shoes are worn at the heels
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick!

And the love that I feel is so far away
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
And you shake you head
And say "It's a shame!"

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth
Spin me down the long ages
Let them sing the song

See there! A son is born
And we pronounce him to fight
There are black heads on his shoulders
And he pees himself in the night

We'll make a man out of him
Put him on a trade
Teach him to play monopoly
And how to sing in the rain
