Oklahoma Lyrics

Look mom

They're gonna fry tim mcvay

She said 'the nice guy who's on the cover of all those magazines?

Why would they want to do a thing like that?'

I said cause he killed all those people

In oklahoma city

She said nonsense

People don't kill people

Carbombs kill people

I said well yea mom but they gotta do something with him

She said why don't they just get mike tyson

To bite off both his ears

And I said

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

It attracts too much attention

They never bomb buildings

A little girl down my block was born

With siliconin her breasts

It turned out her grandma and her mother

Both had the implants done well

Evolution took care of it this time around

And I wondered what it is about

So many women with big breasts

Make it look so sad and I thought well

Maybe it has something to do with the weight

The burden there is to carry in the world

To have to feed it

To be the object of its desires and

I wondered what burdens the rest of us

Are carrying all the time

I couldn't help thinking

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

It attracts too much attention

They never bomb buildings

I decided to go for a walk

And not do nothing except look everyone I see in the eyes

And not be the first one to avert my eyes

No matter what

And I was planning to be gone for 10 minutes

But things started happening and I didn't return for two years

By which time I was the heavyweight champion of the world

And the expectant father of 16 children

By 13 different women

I was in a fishing village in the coast of spain

It was our lady of abortions sunday afternoon

All the pregnant women in their first trimester

Were filing before the priest

To receive their blessing of

Try again sometime, try again

The old barber had died his hair green for the occasion

And pierced his nipples and

Was riding his skateboard to the statue

Of conan o'brien

Where he was doing backflips for the kids

Who threw coins

Given to them by their parents

The visiting lecturer

Achingly handsome

Just finished giving a

How to build bombs in your basement

Seminar in the park
Dan Bern - Oklahoma - http://motolyrics.com/dan-bern/oklahoma-lyrics.html
All the young girls put away their

Notebooks dreamily

The chimpanzee who had managed to

Type out hamlet three years before

Was sitting in the third floor office of a

Drivers license building

Typing out zoning ordinances

Typing out learners permits

Bored and lonely

Pee wee herman was sitting in the

Central square on the grass

Naked and masturbating

While all the townspeople moved to him

Slowly and kissed him softly and sung him

Lullabyes in the grass

And in burkley and in greenwhich village

And in paris and scottsbluff nebraska

No one sits around in funky little coffee shops

Anymore talking about revolution

No they get a starbucks to go

And they go back to their basketball games

Where they see who can jump higher

Who can jam

Who can take it to the rafts

And they all wear baseball caps

Except they don't say yankees or dodgers

They say nike, reebok, adidas

Cause the pro players don't play for teams anymore

They play for shoe companies

And the kids aren't fooled

Nah they're just biding their time

Waiting for the millenium to come

When all the computers will crash

Cause all the brilliant scientists of the world

Forgot to make them read

Zeros

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

It attracts too much attention

They never bomb buildings

Now sitting there with a head full of dark thoughts

Like I sometimes get

Suddenly everything cleared

And I realized the only purpose

For revolution is to be able to love

Who you want

How you want

When you want and

Where you want

So I took off all my clothes

Stole a boat and road out to the middle of the lake

And jumped in

And I looked back at you

And said come on

Get wet

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

True revolutionaries

Never bomb buildings

It attracts too much attention

They never bomb buildings

They never bomb buildings

They never bomb buildings
