I see you glare at the girl over there,
As she buys her food with a SNAP card.
It's sad to me that we can't all agree,
That you shouldn't have to be doing well before you get to eat.
And deep down, we all know.
These are things too obvious to sing.
I wish that it was such that I could stop.
Ham-fisted appeals, I wish they weren't so real.
I long for strife not so over-the-top.
You know, we all know.
It's wrong and it's sad that anyone has to lose everything cause they get sick.
It makes no sense that your right to life should be denied because of where you go to work.
These are things too obvious to sing.
I wish that it was such that I could stop.
Ham-fisted appeals, I wish they weren't so real.
I long for strife not so over-the-top.

Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
