What the World Needs Now...

You know what I really want to hear?

A cowpunk or honkytonk cover of the Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane."

Yeah...

I Feel like a Goddam Chicken Cat

I used to climb tall trees, with nary a care
Jump from high cliffs, though signs read BEWARE!

I used to throw stones at police cars
Throw my fists around in biker bars

I used to run drugs for the CIA
Used to sell guns to the IRA

I used to juggle chainsaws, while rolling logs
Used to brawl in the alley, with junkyard dogs

I used to leap tall buildings, in a single bound
Used to fit square pegs, in holes that were round

I used to walk on coals and chew on glass
Used to tell Mr. T he could kiss my ass

I used to play catch with Ginsu knives
Used to lead a cult and I had nine wives

I used to play chicken on the railroad track
With oncoming trains, now how about that?

But now I’m boring and old and fat
I feel like a goddam chicken cat

Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you

Life's like forever becoming
But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you

Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue
What good is knowing such devotion
I've been around - I know what makes things run

What good is seeing eye chocolate
What good's a computerized nose
And what good was cancer in April
Why no good - no good at all

What good's a war without killing
What good is rain that falls up
What good's a disease that won't hurt you
Why no good, I guess, no good at all

What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No not much, not much at all

What's good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all

What's good ?
Not much at all

What's good ?
Life's good -
But not fair at all
