rear window Lyrics

Anyway it was a great freak show

They called up the devil down the god

And watched them rock and roll

They had cripples veterans idols of gold

The suit that salutes and the flag that he sold

This down-home cracker barrel shit just never gets old

My oh my how the yokels gaped

One and all enraptured and enraged

At the vestal virgin and the beast encaged

She cut the chain they went insane

A transmission to the reptile brain

Cause the lesson of the fable

Is you gotta corrupt to control

Erode the mind with shuck and jive

Wear down enslave the soul

Feed 'em warm feed 'em fuzzy feed 'em folderol

A tissue of lies any child would know

They'll look the other way and let it go

Nod like a doggie in the rear window

Finally they wound the whole thing down

They sent in the cops sent in the priest

Sent in the crooning clown

They had geeks hookers hot apple pie

The hand on their hearts and the black in their eyes

When they sell us out one and all

Will it really come as any surprise?

By and by came the break of day

One by one the phantoms drift away

Carnies tearing down and folding up the big charade

Rubes in a daze walk the old midway

In transition to the dormant state

Cause the moral of the story

Is you best just do as you're told

You gotta go along to get along

Let the devil take whoever don't

Does that black mirror reflect your soul

Or is it simply going down the rabbit hole?

Look the other way and let it go

Nod like a doggie in the rear window
