Critic`s Carnival — текст песни (Magellan)

The Solano County Engineering Archives, vault 1

Feel free, write your scathing indictment
Pick us apart with your joke of a pen
Pacified poet, standing alone you know it
I hear you preaching:
"Do it again - won`t you please do it again?"

Plenty of time - hear the hypocrites whine
Pathetic business -
take it, test it, know it, burn it
It`s all a game you play so mealy mouthed
at the trough we lay
I hear you pleading:
"Do it again - won`t you please do it again?"

Take it all upon you now
Make you mark somehow
and keep it going
With illusions that you`re real
and phrases that you`ll steall
At your best you`ll drag them down

I`ve heard it all before
it`s all been said before
extending all an invitation - welcome to the

Critic`s Carnival -
Where writers think they know more than you
No, don`t be a fool at Critic`s Carnival

A bully pulpit built to spin a phrase
will "pitch" a sermon for you
if you`ve got the money to pay at the
Critic`s Carnival
buy fifty dollar words, try bull-shit

No, don`t be deceived at Critic`s Carnival...

Invite us to your ivory tower
Impress me with your
insightfull gift of genius
Yes, you can dish it out
A coward too much clout
Hungry for power -

Do it again - won`t you please do it again?
Monday morning`s last draft quarterback
Get it right get it wrong
We`ve just dragged on too long
It`s all a game you play
so mealy mouthed at the through we lay
I know you hear me!
Do it again won`t you please do it again?

Well?
