Best Intentions

from La Dolce Vita by ZOPA

/

lyrics

Gone.
Are rocket ships and paper hats
Your little yellow table
And your star barettes

Staring out your window
In your baggy pants
Held together by some chains
Song and dance

And your solution
Is it one right between the eyes?
Take down, destroy, cut that one right down to size
Or while you’re sleeping
Well a quick one right between the knees

You can beg or borrow
Lie or hustle
I just don’t believe you anymore

Way out here
Where the bombs still play
O right before their lives are written across their backs
They say: “Blessed are the blind, cause they never have to see
Just how cruel and heartless it’s possible to be.”

And now you’re found
On a lonely street that’s way uptown
Maybe more than you bargained for
Less than your storybook told

I caught the hole in the wall
And when they banged on your door in the middle of the night
Did you hide under covers?
Did you wait for morning to make things right?

Or is your solution
One right between the eyes?
Take down, destroy, cut that one right down to size?
Or while you’re sleeping
Just a quick one right between the knees?

You can beg or borrow
Lie or hustle
I just don’t believe you anymore

Way out here
Where the bombs still play
O right before their lives are written across their backs
They say: “Blessed are the dumb, cause they never have to hear:
Good morning to you sir, have a lovely day”
