All Too Well

-Temple; Marner

There goes... the governor.
He’s a lot like Hitler.
To me he’s living in luxury…yeah.
They gave him a mansion rent free,
But he’s taking my job away from me.
He’s shouting “achtung” and “mach schnell.”
I know him all too well.

I see... him swaggering,
And he’s always bragging.
I think he’s living a fantasy…yeah.
He has a new mistress daily,
But he lectures us on integrity.
He drools; the senate rings the bell.
They know him all too well.

And when he takes our money,
I don’t think it’s gonna be funny.
I’ve got a place picked out in the park,
In the dark,
(Where I’ll live
With a shark.)

INST. BRIDGE

He’ll cut... off our health care,
But we’ll be on welfare.
I doubt he cares if we go hungry…yeah.
He tells us to waste less money;
Folks said he’d taken bribery.
His love life is “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
We know it all too well.

And when he takes our money,
I don’t think it’s gonna be funny.
I’ve got a place picked out in the park,
In the dark,
Where I’ll live
With the Tark.

INST. CODA

He’s on his way; we know his smell.
We know it all too well.
