Rustic City Fathers - Vic Chesnutt

Those rustic city fathers were realtors

Realtors

And all that profit taking

Was a beautiful awakening

They built themselves a beauty by the ton

Ton by ton

I went there in a panic or for fun

Or for fun

I thought I had a calling

Anyway I just kept dialling

And I sat beside the big puddle like a Shriner

Angry Shriner

So I went to view the tower

Its majesty on a dead end street

It was a very long journey

And it took a lot of energy

I strode across the flat battlefield in the sun

The filthy sun
