Rhoticity Lyrics by J. Mamana

Nothing New in the West

2018

Rhoticity sounds
So much sweeter in the South;
But Rhodes will confound
And you grow grim about the mouth
The time is never right
And a broken watch just twice
But Oxford’s working for a Third Boer War
So fight back, baby, or you’ll halve
That old Dutch door
Rhodesia dined
On rhodium to anglicize
Loanwords to modify
In Jodhpur boots to colonize
In Mashonaland and try
Where the Falklands met Brunei—
Where the textbooks sounded as
One wretched word
And the Beit Trust covered every case on
Loss incurred
You wait for me, I’ll show the way out
Wait for me, I’ll know the way out
Wait for me to let your hungry heart
Combine with mine
Interred, as sure forgot—
Old ideas cannot rot
Their covenant’s cleared
So grab the pisco
Fuck De Beers
The city is too dear
Let go your good Bronx cheer
When the West Coast’s rotted like a
Junkyard car
And the East Coast’s flooded, baby
Can’t go too far
Wait for me to loan the day out
Wait for me to blow my brains out
Wait for me to let your hungry heart
Combine with mine
