about

I was so determined NOT to be a smarts about this topic and to try to write something genuine and uplifting. But that just didn't happen, alas.

lyrics

Well, they asked me to reflect
To say a word in retrospect
As we attempt to come connect
On distant shores

So please let me introduce
Us and propose a little truce
Before our usual abuse
Winds up a war

We’re not so bad, once you get to know us
Just let us chew on the bloody bones you throw us
Sooner or late, we pull our punches
We'll all go have martini lunches
We’re not so bad in the end

Cain killed his brother
Eve bit the apple
I turn my back for a minute
They built the Sistine Chapel

tribal and petty
Hostile and sweaty
They hung up Mussolini
then they went and made spaghetti

We’re not so bad, once you get to know us
Just let us chew on the bloody bones you throw us
Sooner or late, we pull our punches
We'll all go have martini lunches
We’re not so bad in the end

We built some pretty nice pagodas
And we raised up Abe Vigoda
You should try the whiskey sodas
Down at Tate's

The pyramids are pretty nice
You'd look at Uma Thurman twice
And even you'd hum Edelweiss
If you heard it

We’re not so bad, once you get to know us
Just let us chew on the bloody bones you throw us
Sooner or late, we pull our punches
We'll all go have martini lunches
We’re not so bad in the end

It's true we're seeds of discontent
The bottle's dry, the money's spent
The Savior that they say they sent,
We killed him

And most of us show no respect
They say we're short on intellect
And yeah, one time we did elect
A psychopath

But we’re not so bad, once you get to know us
Just let us chew on the bloody bones you throw us
Sooner or late, we pull our punches
We'll all go have martini lunches
We’re not so bad in the end
