Vague Recollections Still Remain

Not quite sure who pulled me down

Could have been the fool who wears the crown

Like an unknown soldier homeward bound

Navigating through a fool’s playground,

Got enough wine to kill the pain

But, I’ve got to get out of the rain

She was leaving clear and plain

Only vague recollections still remain,

I swear the world’s gone insane

Common sense all seems in vain

Going to Cuba to hack on sugar cane

Exchange my gold for a little grain,

Make an effort to keep your spirits up

Drink from a poor man’s tin cup

Remember the institutions are corrupt

Better exit before the volcano erupts,

Plenty of bad news so I won’t laugh

Another ruler’s foolish gaffe

Seems the time machine’s been cut in half

Never cared much for the golden calf,

The fascist people shouldn’t breed

They believe they’re the superior creed

They seem to have this sadistic need

The innocent will always bleed,

Think it’s time for me to leave

Don’t think anyone will be bereaved

Used up all the tricks up my sleeve

It’s better to give than to receive.
