More Than Faintly Absurd Lyrics by The Paranoid Style

The Power of Our Proven System

0

There are times they make you choose between
A cudgel and a knife
Can you confirm for me at this time
You no longer beat your wife?
You were always asking for more
So what am I in Bangkok for?
I'm at home doing the dishes
Gimme a sponge and I turn vicious
There were certain things I promised I'd do
Like Saul Bellow I kept my words with you
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little rеmoved
More than faintly absurd
I could pretеnd to apologize
But why? You always knew I was the prize
I'm your friend and I'm your lover
Give me those clogs, I'll be your mother
You were always asking for less
So wasn't I voted to this Congress?
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little removed
More than faintly absurd
I was stranded in the center of the divided city
I made my case to the Politburo
I served on the committee
I drifted without anchor
I begged you for a meal
I loved you like a banker
It was always real
And the whole deal
You don't have to speak
Just give me a sign
[?]
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little removed
More than faintly absurd
