black vinyl man with black plasticised imagination
i got political inclinations to announce
my soul shows art to me, but dollars says my radio
G#m Ebm
more fodder for the new lost generation
but no way, if it doesn't scan with your accounts
wall street liquid lunches showing us the way to go
C#m F#
i got a question to send you to the nearest closet
i got some spiritual ideology for you
why tolerate this numismatical polity?
G# Ebm
why can't you let us do it like JONI does it
