Sixteen military wives
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
Staring at the natural tan
of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
Seventeen company men
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
Sergeant sends a letter to five
Military wives, whose tears drip down through ten little eyes

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da

Fifteen celebrity minds
Leading their fifteen sordid wretched checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?

Eighteen academy chairs
Out of which only seven really even care
Doling out the garland to five
Celebrity minds, they're humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Fourteen cannibal kings
Wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring
Fifteen celebrity minds
Served on a leafy bed OF sixteen military wives

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da-dedadeda-de de dadede-daaaaa

but call-response overturns convictions everytime.
My memory cannot recall: a wave of alcohol

we shared a cigarette and shaved the hours off

for the longest time that was my favorite verse ever

soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"

ITT: I (and others) remember how great a lyricist Blake Schwarzenbach is.

You've grown more beautiful since you took off.
What can I do?
I'm in love with you and it won't stop.


All that I can ask is forgiveness for what's past us now.
You know who I am but will you know me in the end?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm almost home so if you're leaving, walk slow.


...living by the hour I stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right
thank you for making me see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring


Also ITT: I overlooked the twistedly cynical genius of Steve Albini/Big Black
This is Texas
This is redneck
This is lone star
This is wetback
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
This is Texas
This is badass
This is chain-gang
This is mustang
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
