I will do your interview Give you a quote you can misconstrue Help you push your claims about the privileged in L.A A sick version of telephone starts at the clip of the microphone A game we thought we had all outgrown, but still everybody plays
Ignoring all of the remedies, believing all of the rumors With their endless database I wanna sit with my enemies and say, 'we should have done this sooner' While I look them in the face Maybe that would crack the case
I got a friend who's been thinking 'bout finally kicking her husband out His second life as a talent scout, finally got him caught While she was throwing out all his clothes she heard a voice from beyond the throes 'Punish him for the life he chose, but forgive the past that he did not!' It's really hard to hate anyone once you know what they've lived through And once they've given you a taste
She said, 'This is for you to overcome, but I will always love you' In her perfect state of grace Maybe that would crack the case
Now that we're through with formalities What is it you want to ask of me? I'll answer open and honestly Whatever that might mean Finding out that we occupy Somebody else's opposing side There's no use in crossing a great divide that no one's even seen A long position of centuries trying to tell us the future Between each commercial break
I wanna call off the cavalry Declare no winners or losers And forgive our shared mistakes They can pick the time and place Maybe that would crack the case
