A common language
Woo, woo let’s go,
Hey, hey, hey
Aerobics on Pier 1,
Not on the sidewok,
You sit and eat your big bureedo
I can’t do this right now
Like, I’ve gotta see my therapist,
I’m on the sidewok right now,
Eating my big bureedo on the sidewok
With all that land of the free, home of the brave
Madness, fear, eyes closed pretend end
If you really close your eyes tight
You can still see the dream
That started with a film star ending,
And now a menacing mystery,
Oh say can you see with those eyes closed
Walkin on the sidewok,
Devouring that big bureedo
Now stare at yourself in the bar mirror,
Watch yourself get slammed
Talking to Tina from Bolder Colorado
Who finds you awesome in an awesome don’t fuck me way,
Where to next when you’re awesome?
Out on the sidewok eating that awesome big bureedo,
It’s like awesome
But you only manage to keep one step ahead of those teeth
Gnashing at your fanny,
Pinching your awesome fanny on the sidewok,
Keep on running or you’ll be consumed
Like that awesome big bureedo
I avoid them both under those
Stinking shit love addictions
That glue them to the sidewok,
Begging that awesome big bureedo,
Am starving here, fuck you bitch!
Fuck you on the sidewok
Behind that life cluttered RV,
Adventures long gone, stuck on the sidewok
Yet I still feel your spirit
That spits back at how it is,
Swears and cusses and spits on the sidewok,
Spitting out that forced fed awesome big bureedo,
You big beautiful asshole,
You keep on believing with those teeth in your fanny
And I love you for that,
For fighting and squeezing every ounce of that dream
God bless Americans, God Bless their grace
And give them the strength,
Strength to hold hands together,
Lift themselves off the sidewok,
Be as awesome as they are,
Like an awesome beautiful big bureedo

HI Jim. This looks so good on paper as well as live, and just has so much penetrating power that America is encapsulated in its almost Hollywood presentation. You can feel both resentment and incredulity pouring off the page, plus of course that big serving of semi - rant. John Betjeman it is not!
Wonderful stuff.
