lyrics

i've got two books sitting on my night stand,
i bought them last week at the
mall.
one's about the conflicts in the middle east
and one's about nothing
at all.

that's ok because right now
i feel like a camera with no point of view.
take a picture with the lens cap on
just to say that i've got something to do.

da dee da da da...

tell me what you think about
the coup in iran
way back in 1953.
can you stand it in the middle west
when you've seen all that there is
to see?

tell me what you think when i say the words,
iraq is still a colony.
shut me up with a cold blank stare
and a jug of liquor from tennessee.

if i asked would you read my book
about the middle east?
if i asked would you spite me for not
ever saying please?

da dee da da da...

i've got two books sitting on my night stand,
i bought them last week at the
mall.
one's about the conflicts in the middle east
and one's about nothing
at all.
