Bandolier

from Pocket Knife by Morgan Haner

lyrics

Gun racks and heart attacks
Camel unfiltered in a soft pack
Working to jobs, ain't making jack
That's news to me

There's a Congressman in a scandal now
You act like a hero and you take a bow
The sacrificial lamb and the sacred cow
That's news to me

He don't know the cause, but he has the cure
He can wipe it clean, he can make it pure
He don't know what he's saying
but he sounds so sure
That's news to me

He stomps his foot, and he pounds his chest
With his bandolier and his combat vest
I can't tell him apart from all the rest
And that's news to me

Well I said it so it must be true
Nobody wants to listen to you
Nobody wants to listen to you

Well I said it so it must be right
Although it doesn't help me sleep at night
Mad dogs have been known to bite

Calling from work on the office phone
The highway's jammed and you can't get home
Well, they gunned him down, he was all alone
That's news to me

American flag on the power line
You do the time, and you pay the fine
Well, it's someone's fault, but it sure ain't mine
That's news to me
