lyrics

PRIVILEGE

fast black Pontiac headspins
Neal Cassady rides again
Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain
on the street corner begging for spare change
Billy The Kid with a black guitar
on the stage in a rock and roll bar
rope burns around his neck
waiting to see what happens next

(chorus)
and you see what you see
you see how much you can take of it
drink it all down
get a little drunk 'cause that's your privilege


find a girl who's young and firm
go to church and marry her
a guy named Charlie is the chaplain
first the honeymoon then the fun begins
late movies on TV
patriotic poverty
working hard for a big backyard
and barbecues on Sunday

(chorus)


we were getting high on the 4th of July
with a prostitute who plays the flute
she's a wine taster famous painter
she dresses up like the Jack of Spades
she's a psycho killer prescription filler
she's a mad big mean roller derby queen
she's an alcoholic who just can't solve it
she's a transvestite housewife

(chorus)


dollar sign messiah
cash register bible
fast food salvation
God is Ronald McDonald
gimme a Christ burger with resurrection sauce
and a Virgin Mary milkshake
crucifixion french fries
to go could you put that in a bag

(chorus)
