Lyrics

I used to push pens in the City

Being paid to milk someone's cash cow

I once served my time at a dollar a line

But that's not the job I do now


A seducer wants words for a lady

A sonnet to melt her cold heart

Though he orders a charm that will open her arms

Cupid's quiver is empty of darts


The clown wants some words to divert you

And asks me to build him some jests

A wink and a nudge, to distract a harsh judge

But that's not the job I do best


The emperor assumes that I love him

This bully, this man without shame

He commands me to praise all the lies he portrays

From his seat on the gravy train


Friends of the Fancy, nose to the trough

Trade their vast profits for pain

I can buy with sweet notes my way onto the lifeboat

If I comfort these grandsons of Cain


The rats have abandoned this Ship of Fools

The saints have forgotten to pray

Orpheus counts loot that he earned licking boots

But his tongue is silent today

And this is my text for today
