Kelly Anne was a pundit on a TV show
network news
Kelly Anne, always talkin' on the radio
had her views
Kelly Anne had to make a hard decision
Kelly Anne showed the boss that she could talk like a man
Kelly Anne, narrow-waisted in a thin dress
high heel shoes
Kelly Anne, garden state blueberry princess
couldn't lose
Kelly Anne had to make a hard decision
Kelly Anne showed the boss that she could talk like a man
Kelly Anne
she makes a mystery seem like it's a revelation long overdue
Kelly Anne
she knows the difference between a story good for us and one that is true
Kelly Anne, isn't easy to escape the pull
of her eyes
Kelly Anne knows the things a' which we're capable
when she tries
Kelly Anne had to make a hard decision
Kelly Anne had the future to envision
Kelly Anne had to stomach the derision
Kelly Anne had to do it with precision
Kelly Anne, she was lost and she did not understand
Kelly Anne, she showed the boss that she could talk like a man

every one of us on the committee
we welcome you into the class of 03
and we are welcomin' you to our fair city
in this land where everybody is free
to be what they can afford
so we will disregard the college board
anybody can grow up to buy the USA
anybody can grow up to buy the USA
we know you understand the price of admission
and we were lookin' at your family tree
guess we're the one's that should be asking permission
to take the money and to give the degree
cause we see what you can afford
and all the places you are headed toward
anybody can grow up to buy the USA
anybody can grow up to buy the USA
anyone who can pay
makin' a deal
keepin' it real
we all know that you can pay ....

The Details

don't tell me the details
tell me what to say
tell me what they want to hear today
tell me what to clap for
tell me what to curse
tell me what is bad and what is worse
I don't have time for questions
I'm not in the mood
plus I bet they're going to be rude
don't tell me the details
tell me what to say
tell me what they want to hear today
have me saying something
something that I read
give me shit to say that Lincoln said
and if I'm saying something
something that is wrong
make it like I was right all along
don't tell me the details
tell me what to say
tell me what they want to hear today
tell them what you need to
get them on our side
tell them that we have nothing to hide
love is complicated
even loving me
they'll all give me love eventually
don't tell me the details
tell me what to say
tell me what they want to hear today

Getting Along
03:06

winning or losing
war is confusing
the tough choice is choosing which side to be on
simple equations
don't govern nations
winning or losing or getting along
-
changing your circumstance
hope that it works, the chance
rarely occurs, can't be counted upon
don't talk to anyone
respect the many unspoken
restrictions on what can get done
can't say with certainty
no one gets hurt
til' we open the curtains and put down our guns
sooner or later
either the state or
the holy creator will do something fun

Never Even a Bit

end of the empire I read it on the internet
winter is coming though I guess it isn't winter, yet
I'm singin', strummin' from an ivory tower parapet
beset by enemies but some of them do not know it yet
it's late December and the temperature is temperate
I can't remember any weather that's a precedent
god's on a bender whatsoever, we consent to it
just watchin' embers in the bottom of a big fire pit
twitter is hummin' I'll admit it is illiterate
bitter at some who dare to call him inconsiderate
who is a bum to tell the winner he's a counterfeit?
never succumbin' to the pressure never even a bit
