Nothin’ ever changes, is that really your name/ What’s it mean, what’s the context, could you explain/ I don’t mean to be an asshole, I don’t mean to complain/ But is that all we’ve given ye?/ I see no point in turning all this worry to shame/ There ain’t no need to point the finger, I got no one else to blame/ Talk of secession has never been so plain/ But is that all that we’ve said here?/ The kids are on fire I’m just sat back tendin’ the flames/ And we’re just circlin’ ’round the critical drain/ Big-time intuition in a tiny little brain/ Spoutin’ out thoughts about doubts and jealousy and pain/ Open-ended questions and the ones they contain/ Did it all go to hell in a day, kid?/ Consider this my condition/ On the ashes of the funerary pyre/ Would you still have me surrender my lyre?/ I’m only askin’ cuz it seems like you wanna say/ That we’re just circlin’ ’round the critical drain/ Consider this my audition/ For that little jazz combo in the sky/ If I’m not there yet I’ll tell you why/ I’m too busy defiling the American songbook’s name
