lyrics

Sandman’s Lot

The father’s is on the loose
The mother’s fattening (fattening)
One kid’s a mall rat
The other’s on crack
That’s the theme
Still searching for the American Dream
Spreading like whores before their lying pimps

The neighbor has a ride
That does nearly a pint to the mile
At Sunday gas-up
It takes a Benjamin to fuel his pride
Five days a week for a weekend drive
Plus three extra nights to feed the credit line

But dear, don’t you cry
They voted for a man they could trust
So wipe out the tear from your eye
They’re cruising on their plasma high

Uncle Harry has gotten nasty
With the little girls
He’s got his sticky fingers way up too many skirts
Nobody dares to face such a fine Christian man
Plus Harry’s got a mean streak on a par
With the slime

The nation’s got an issue
With the foreign labor force
It seems it’s taking all the shitty work
From these mighty shores
The money isn’t worth the price of its paper base
Plus half the time its value is caught in cyberspace

So dear, don’t you cry
What you see is not worth your while
They’re playing in the lot of the sandman
Not guessing they’ve trashed the Promised Land
