on your gold concrete
where you've lived more lies than your words can speak
you filled...

Good political songs show more than they tell. Most good writing, song writing included, is greatly effected by the balance between descriptions and expositions. I know that not everyone listens to...

Pittsburgh
Standing on a corner in Pittsburgh,
buses like a mobile, undisturbed
Here I could rest
a child fallen asleep on his mother’s breast.
Now the Candles lit by the matches,
here the streets...

Heaven Help Us

your soul is south...

Trouble with a Capital Me
What's a hero with nothing left to save?

thinking up new euphemisms he can use
his lines never work right
he says the girls 'round here are uptight
they blush wish bottled innocence...
