Age Of Treason Lyrics
in A Little Wallpapered Bedroom I Done My Growin'
'twas There I Dreamt My Dreams, I Hung My Jeans
and Wandered Through My Puberty As All Do
my Mother Was A Tight Nut Bound Up With False Guilt
strapped Up In Her Fearing Wall She Had Built
the Independent Girl In A Dark And Cruel World
she'd Lost The Way To Say, 'ok, Now Lay Back'
we Disagreed On Most Things, I Shouted Peace And Love
the Family Is Mankind, The Symbol Of The Dove
she Only Saw The Surface Of Things Before Her Face
but I Was Young And Argued On For Hours
my Father He Liked Poetry, A Scholar He Might Have Made
had Nothing, Born A Poor Boy Barefoot And Underpaid
so The Man Worked With His Hands Up And Down The Land
his Dreams Forgot He Thought That I Must Follow
with His Marks As Worker's Wisdom He'd Read A Thing Or Two
he Once Had Been A Mason But He Never Followed Through
always Kind And Thoughtful, Smelling Of Mushy Oil
and He Read Me Poetry Of Visionaries
i Flunk My Way To College, A Looser Kind Of School
but We Bobbed And Played Time Arty, Feeling Cool
just To Live An Artists Diggin' The Ravin' Scene
reading Kerouac And Ginsberg Well Deuced
i Was Not Academic, Art And English Neat
the History Of Mankind I Liked That A Bit
and What Was I To Do The Choices They Were Few
i Done Right Disgrace To The Working Classes
i Done Right Disgrace To The Working Classes
i Done Right Disgrace To The Working Classes
i Done Right Disgrace To The Working Classes
