City of Brotherly Love - Cass McCombs

So you fell out of the nest

Pigeon feathers in your mouth

This considered Son Of Letters

Is taking you out

Our father who art in heaven

Made a circle around my brethren

A circle you did cross

Let me be more specific

I’m the model, you’re the mythic

And NOW you get tossed

Welly, welly, well

Who doesn’t owe to you?

No guardian nor craft

Yes, I’ve read my Plato, too

This battle-talk that I’m spitting

Is my war correspondant ambitions

Coming to light

Semper Fi, E Pluribus Unim

My arm’s extended;

who am I fooling?

And NOW you get wiped
