FRAIL GRASP
ON THE
BIG PICTURE
And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And he shepherds his flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football games
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We have faith in the Lord
Unless there's money or sex involved
PEANUTS AND POLITICS
Good ol' boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
Cover-to-cover
That ain't what's going on
JOURNALISM DEAD AND GONE
THAT AIN'T WHAT'S GOING ON
Well, ain't it a shame
That our short little memories
Never seem to learn
The lessons of history
We keep makin' the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over again
And then we wonder why
We're in the shape we're in
ALL WAITING FOR THAT MIRACLE ELIXIR
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Heaven help us
