lyrics

Roll with the punches that we’re throwin
like a hurricane that’s blowin.
Consensus has been growin
just like a healthy pig.
Sing, my canary, but be wary
of the power that you carry
like a shovel that could bury
everything you dig.
Cause nobody’s got a shoe in the door
and you know as well as I do.
So who can decide what’s true anymore?
It’s all a big puppet show... of
lies and alibis and witnesses
who swear to god that it never happened.
Lies and alibis and witnesses
who can put their hand on a stack of bibles
and swear to god it never happened.
You’s got a lotta fuckin nerve
throwin us a wild curve
but you’ll get what you deserve
when the papers serve.
And you can go out and screw any whore
but we won’t be bendin over.
And god only knows what’s true anymore.
It’s all a big puppet show... of
Lies and alibis and witnesses
who swear to god that it never happened.
The backlash and the cyanide
the commissioner with a thorn in his side
and the renegade sippin lemonade
in the noon day shade
with all the friends he made...
They swear to God it never happened.

Cooper's droll lyrics brim with invective, taunts, boasts, disturbing delusions and bad advice. But he seems to be singing on our behalf, to a mutual enemy, in a bar on a tropical island. ... more
