If you are sure you found them
If the motor turns or claims
Then the service that will start them
May turn a key inside your brain
If you stand with both arms folded you know
You're sure to stand in vain
But if you stand with both palms open
Then here's a hoping they'll be your refrain
Don't stick it to the Major
You know he doesn't care
Don't stick it to Jimmy carter
When you know that he won't barter
No you know his name
His name is on the lion's mane
His name is in the working bane
In the living pain
And dying drain
That flushes out apostles from imposters
And the dossiers from the monsters
And it brings all the monasteries to the brink of disasterous
Corpuscles who wait in corpus Christi forums
Or museums of rust
And anti-trust fund babies
Who run around with rabies
And curtain off the Habeus Corpus of the law
Until we all say you cannot touch the spirit anymore
And they die in the gutter of what they utter
As the trains roll on in utter contempt for the law
And the politicians splutter their gonorrhoea swollen spores
Over the poor and cough and cutter up
The fish heads above their doors
Who stand guard for the hard sailors
Who've gone left their wives in the arms
Of those they implore to do more
Than they would in their plaices
But not so yellow as their soles, they sold
For a quarter of a penny more
And this is the quarter of an hour mark to heaven.
This is dialectically opposed to forgiven,
Gibbons of gibbous moons
And loons and ducks and geese of all Canada held spent
In the arms race with the moose
But she went on the ice and drowned in a barrel twice as tall as
The tallest apple bobber and then she felt
Like she might explode, she smelt it and then she did it
