Sentimental for a love so long fallen apart
If there was ever a fool I could surely play the part
What is there to live for ? I wondered from the start
It seems all love does is upset the apple cart,

Looking back on a life of fleeting joy and regret
I should have known the moment we met
Wine, recrimination, and tears the ultimate outlet
Salvation seems to be the best idea yet,

Enduring one tragedy at a time is all I can do
God help me if there's more than two
Now I wonder how did I get on this ship of fools?
Government is the predator and the people are the tools,

Sleep, consume, obey, and be sure to sleep
My countrymen are nothing more than obedient sheep
It seems that reality has taken a great leap
Plunging down the slopes of history way too steep,

My brother my sister my comrade in arms
Impaled upon the lies of my mistress and her charms
A whirl wind romance should set off all alarms
Paul Revere in his nocturnal ride through the villages and farms,

Have I overlooked all the good in life perhaps
Aside from the little ones we hold in our laps
For some it's enough to have hot dogs and baseball caps
I recall at my Dad's funeral they played "Taps".
