Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A birdie and a hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Myles Standish proud, congratulate me
[Refrain]
A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
[Verse 2]
Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security, silence means approval
Waltons Zenith on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter
[Chorus]
Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther, Zen
The mythology begins the begin
[Verse 3]
Answer me a question, I can't itemize, I can't think clear
You look to me for reason, it's not there
I can't even rhyme in the begin
[Refrain]
A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example, the finest example is you
