lyrics

I want to be an old black man
Sitting on the front porch
Spitting chew into a can

I want to gather the neighborhood kids
Tell them stories of the war
And all about my old whores

I want to taste her in my tea
I want to feel her faint heart
Beating next to me

But she don’t know that I don’t shower
I go streaking through car washes
Screaming, “White and black power!”

And I know that I’m trying to hard When I shouldn’t be trying at all
Don’t try to be better, don’t try at all, just be who you are

I’m a passive wrecking ball
Politely rolling down the hall
If you stand in my way
I will ask you to move
I will use “please” and “thank you”
As I bite my tongue
I will ask you not to do things
You’ve already done

I want to be a martyr for a cause
But I believe in nothing
And nothing always works
I want to love someone as much as I love myself
But I will heave my final shot with no time left
