Fences Lyrics

I am generous

Oh, so generous

I take some of my Very Important Time

To explain to you what's wrong

With your paradigm

Just a pair of dimes

That's all it would take

For me to call you brethren

You might weather the question

Of whether or not

Whether or not

Whether or not I might ask you to

STOP

And I sat atop fences

And I gave no thought to the consequences

I am virtuous

Virtuous paragon

Pay my taxes, take my vitamins, read Seneca

After morning swim at the

Y, Y, Y

Y, Y, Y

Y M C A

And I sat atop fences

And I gave no thought to the consequences

From up here my vantage

Is endlessly enlightening

And I sat atop fences

And I gave no thought to the consequences

From up here my vantage

Is endlessly enlightening

Get a job = Get ahead

Pull yourself up

By each tenuous thread
