Shepherd Lyrics by Plainride

Shepherd

2021

I remember, I was feeling pretty good
In my brand new Model T
Just as any sane man would

When out of the shadow
Came that crooked beggarman
Threw his palms up on my windshield
Rattling his can, saying

Oh, it‘s terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t send off your children
Oh, terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t send off your children
To the many-toothed king

Came the morrow
I was feeling quite alright
I said "Morning, Mr chairman
Have you had a pleasant night?"

When that darned beggarman
Stepped right on up to me
Flashed another hollow-mouthed grin
Bеfore he bellowеd angrily

Oh, it‘s terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t send off your children
Oh, terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t peddle your children
To the many-toothed king

And on the sixth floor of Harlem
Crowned with flame
Atop ursa and taurus
Is the father of game
The lord of the brazier
The lord of two horns
Eye of the master
Fatten the whores
Now eat from the lamb stew
And swallow the crab
Beggar thy neighbor
And ascend

Fear, Missouri, makes no difference
Lawyer up now, Dr. Doom
You’re gonna need the best defense
Oh yeah, please rise
From the waters, the woods, and the meadows
Hey, hey, hey, now, chicken delight! Only 4.99

Oh, it‘s terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t send off your children
To the many-toothed king
Oh, terrible
Won‘t you hear me
Don‘t send off your children
To the many-toothed king
Don‘t send off your children
To the many-toothed king
Don‘t peddle your children
To the many-toothed
Won't you won't you {?????}
