Theatre 83

Tongue and eyes have been cut out
And you’re being real devout
Statement plays when the string is pulled
Tell them not to be so mean
Tell them I’ve been good to you
Tell them none of it is true
In the Golden Castle payments are cruel
You tried to warn him, didn’t you?
Two things to inherit: shame and debt
No regrets
And I had to listen to you
But I don’t want to, I don’t want to
Tongue and eyes have been cut out
And you’re being real devout
Statement plays when the string is pulled
Tell them not to be so mean
Tell them I’ve been good to you
Tell them none of it is true
No regrets
And I had to listen to you
But I don’t want to, I don’t want to
And I had to listen to my father who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen to my mother who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen to my brother who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen to my uncle who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen to the judge who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen to the newspaper who’s been like a father to me
And I had to listen the policeman been like a father to me
And I had to listen to the shopkeeper who’s been like a father to me
And I confess it’s all true
