Alpha Mike Foxtrot

My home town is the kind of a place
Where everyone was once someone else, the best
A general with a water gun
A pilot who's destined to destroy Iran, what fun!

But I'm neither, nor not or
Gates I flip my finger for
Flop houses too
I just wanna be in love with you

Then I became a king of folk
In bar-rooms of aging men and smoke, I spoke
Girls would say: here comes he
But all that I wanted was to get out and pee, and be

Yes, I'm neither, nor not or
Toggle switch baits I ignore
Not any more
I just wanna be with you on all fours

Now you might take me for a misanthrope
A cynical recluse, an anarchist dope
A dog eat dog world was just a hoax
It's a god meets the ever turning sword of hope

So you better start sniffling real ass
Join the party boy, lick boots of brass
Be a contributing citizen of the nation
Support this wonderful god-dammed creation

Be happy you're allowed to stay infected
By a network of such glorious stations
With talking heads that sing on command
Roar as you may, we can't hear a sound

The past is gone, present perfect it is
With our newly appointed constellation of queers
Just be a sport, come join us down at the bar
On the corner of something stupid and our trash-talking czar

Drink what you're served, boy, don't ask why
We'll tell you who you are, and then you'll die
Raise your head, look at the sky
God's flying a Cessna, writing your future on high

Blink once and it be gone
Anyway, soon you'll bravely be under a stone
We'll keep up the flag, nation above all
Be here to love us, you poet of old

But I'm neither, nor not or
In your circuit, I'm "the great bore"
Just a chip off the old block

"So much hate this guy has
Wish we could have trained him instead
To dress in whites, to accept
Divinity, order, leaders inept

Weep for him no more
He's just driftwood, swept onto our shore
It's anthem time now, bow your head
Kiss the floor, sing this instead:"

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ...
