Manning Fireworks
Birds against a heavy wind that wins in the end
One of these days, with shorts full of sand
One of these days you'll kill a man
For asking a question you don't understand
Some have passion
Some have purpose
You have sneakin backstage to hound
The girls in the circus
You've opened the Bible in a public place
You've opened the Bible to the very first page
And one of these days
It will all end
Your tired approach to original sin
You've been betting on horses named
"Johnny Come Lately"
You've been high on the hog
And the dogs seem to hate you
You once was a baby and now a jerk
Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks
Once a perfect little baby
Who's now a jerk
Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks
One of these days, with shorts full of sand
One of these days you'll kill a man
For asking a question you don't understand
Some have passion
Some have purpose
You have sneakin backstage to hound
The girls in the circus
You've opened the Bible in a public place
You've opened the Bible to the very first page
And one of these days
It will all end
Your tired approach to original sin
You've been betting on horses named
"Johnny Come Lately"
You've been high on the hog
And the dogs seem to hate you
You once was a baby and now a jerk
Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks
Once a perfect little baby
Who's now a jerk
Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks
