Cul de Sac

lyrics

I met my daddy’s friend
Three little girls and a hand to lend
I’ve seen him build the deadly drones
I’ve seen them eat when the fires blow

Right next door is my mama’s pal
Olive branch on her bumper and she’s raising hell
Builds stickers and signs with her neighbor’s face
And a hat passed well makes a hearty plate

I’ve got my thumb on the pulse of a nation

I got em tagged from across the street
(Oh Charlie goes round again)
And I see and I write and I hear and I speak
(Oh Charlie goes round again)
And I hope you check the evening news
(Oh Charlie goes round again)
Or else I will go hungry soon
(Oh Charlie goes round)

I’ve got my thumb on the pulse of a nation

And you shake your head from across the tracks
With money in your wallet and a bone in your back
You say “I got ideals” I say “I got my pride”
And words are words from across divides

I know you see
that you’re just like me
You sigh, opine
But we ride

I’ve got my thumb on the pulse of a nation
