Disgrace

<br>When you drive a nail through all that`s good,<br>the carpenter becomes the wood.<br>If my concentration sounds like wreckage,<br>it`s `cause I got a new feeling every thirty seconds.<br>We put a monkey up in space and I know exactly how he felt.<br>Looking at the latticework of stars, missing his brothers back home.<br>Too much for a postcard.<br>Mercy, have we gone too far?<br>Who put all these criminals in charge?<br>Did they win, or just hold all the cards?<br>I`m leaving my place in LA, I`m gonna live in my car.<br>Surgery girls, from the USO.<br>Flown farm fresh, pure as snow.<br>Hand me that flask.<br>I just can`t take it.<br>She had the eyes of my mom but she was turning me on.<br>Now I`m fading.<br>I got duct tape all around my heart.<br>I got a satellite dish to julienne my mind.<br>Two-hundred channels,<br>nothing`s on but those network news can make your eyes see blonde.<br>Mercy, have we lost our way?<br>Did we come down the ladder from the apes?<br>Oh, those lonely apes.<br>Will the beard of the prophet be assuaged?<br>I was putting my shit in the car when the copters came.<br>They put a monkey in the white house and his uncle in the movies.<br>Now the real monkey wants a re-count.<br>He just couldn`t believe they were his own family with those values.<br>Mercy, pick up your guitar.<br>We`ll need a lot of heroes for this war.<br>Pick up your guitar.<br>&quot;Will the last band please bring the flag?&quot;<br>`cause no one`s rocking the boat<br>and some kids here said they wanna dance.
