Except Father Casey Lyrics

Oh dull thirteen!

Sheep at a desk

Asleep on the curves of the pasture

Taxing routine

You think it's free

Or that's what they said at assembly

The gardening team

Cut down your dream

Seeing no green in its future

Such lazy shepherds

You'll need some for your room and your books and your meal plan

Photo ID

PO box key

You'll need more for a phone, the laundry and the loan

At eighteen percent just the interest is spent

Live long enough and you'll see everything has a fee

Except Father Casey

One and a half paid in advance

Investing such faith in a landlord

You made it through the interview

And still you can barely afford it

A grand a month if split in two

Best get someone to live with you and hope for a couch

You'll need more for the trash and the leak in the faucet

Cable TV, heat and utilities

Don't even mention the dues or the salary you lose

Uncled out of your pay every damn working day

How 'bout the monthly kabangg on the loan for the Mustang?

Fourteen percent is more than half of the rent

Live long enough and you'll see everything has a fee

Except Father Casey

Father Joe came walking up with sheep shit on his pastor shoes

Behind him was a catskill clown who ripped us off as he sang the blues

We sat around in disbelief at what this vaudeville hack had cost us

Standing there with mic in hand his Jackie Mason really lost us

It was ridiculous

Ten minutes late posed by the lake

Out with the wedding photographer

The limo man holds out his hand and charges the full extra hour

The scam is laid

This goon gets paid

And drives home the point even further with another hundred bucks

You need more at the close than they said on the phone

And since you've run out of cash you take the advance

And on your credit card bill you think you won't but you will

Incur a small penalty they had you thinking was free

So there you are in your home which is really on loan

Just waiting to pay for every beautiful day

Live long enough and you'll see everything has a fee

Live long enough and you'll see everything has a fee

Live long enough and you'll see everything has a fee

Except Father Casey
