when the medicine man comes, he comes in full force

and I'm finally taking that medicine
the ones you kept telling me to
thanks for pushing me that way
even though it took a few years

and tess, she's getting better
and so is her man
I guess they've been together
for quite a while now

I heard it was their anniversary
not too long ago
and that just got me thinking
when would it be ours?

but I guess that doesn't matter
'cause you're better off
and everybody's telling me
calling you dirty

I should be glad that you're OK
I know in some way I am
remember that time I rang,
maybe a year ago?

I was sure you'd gone off
I was sure...
I was on the train and
I thought it was you
we were stuck a few hours
so I hate to say it
I was late for a date.

Oh Lordy Lordy (improv) & The Bobcat Blues

This song wasn't actually intended to be as crass as it might seem. Too bad.



Oh Lordy Lordy (improv)

my sister got raped
by a murderer
my sister got her cherry
all popped
my sister ain't got no
protection
my sister went and asked
the lordy

she said
oh, lordy lordy
won't you give me some freedom?

oh, lordy lordy
won't you give me some love?

I've been in this world eighteen years
I ain't been fucked once before
but now, I got a baby on the way

oh, lordy lordy
give me some freedom

oh, lordy lordy
what should I do?

'cause those fuckers
take me down
when I try to kill this baby
I don't want you any more
I never wanted you in the first place
but you mother fuckers had to do it didn't ya?
you raped me like a baby raped a sausage..
fucker!


...And here's a somewhat nicer one for all you chumps out there

Bobcat Blues

No I can't stand it no more
when I sat down to read the morning paper
I hear they're building another mall
now I don't want to be one of those haters
but baby won't you hear me out

they got roads
they got the trains
they got high-rise buildings
water mains
but baby when it all comes down
just where, where we gonna go?

I see limousines
and some buses
pourin' out the old hotel
the driver, he ain't nervous
as he plows into a gaol cell

No I just can't stand it no more
when I sat down to read the morning paper
I hear they're building another mall
now I don't want to be one of those haters
but baby won't you hear me out

I got knife wounds in my back
I got the needle in the arm
and I'm just one of the many
that they raped, tortured and stole
