033: Young Jesus - MOTY
Your favorite singer
hates the sound of his own voice.
That politician
you believed in
made the choice
to break the back
of half the nation
act like it’s ancient wisdom,
not some crass idea
he made up
with a man he’s afraid of
I’ve been there
I’ve learned from the greatest
The Man Of The Year is here
The Man Of The Year is here
The sweetest actor
beats his wife behind closed doors
and the great innovators
are boys just frozen at the core
of daddy’s anger
and mommy’s trauma
and there we drop unto the floor
Where pain has reigned
Where fear’s the product these boys sold
The Man Of The Year is here
The Man Of The Year is here
Stephen and I
back in last July
cried at the kitchen table
cried til we couldn’t cry
we hadn’t had a drink
just the time to think
yeah the time to grieve
look how time deceives
look how time repeats
if you won’t be weak
you’re at the kitchen table
drunk and half-asleep
or now you’re proud of yourself
thanks to all of this help
thanks to Jordan and Stephen
Dad I’m damn-near believing
The Man Of The Year is here
