Kevin Pakulis: Music

you don't get it

(Kevin Pakulis)

YOU DON'T GET IT

FALLING TOWERS GIANT LOSS
BULLHORN RALLY 'ROUND THE CAUSE
WE WERE TIGHT HAD TO BE
LOVE IS A NECESSITY SOMETIMES

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I COULD CALL YOU ON
BUT THIS ONE KEEPS COMIN' HOME IN
BODY BAGS TWISTED LIMBS BUSTED LIVES NEXT OF KIN
NO PHOTOGRAPHS OF CASKET PLANES
YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME
YOU AND YOUR BOYS AND JESUS CHRIST
AIN'T BUT ONE OF YOU EVER SAW THE LIGHT

YOU DON'T GET IT

IS IT YOUR DADDY IS IT EGO DRIVEN
OIL MONEY IGNORANCE
YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP WHEN YOU WERE CALLED
NOW YOU JUMP UGLY WITH THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
YOU SAY BRING IT ON WHAT'S UP WITH THAT
IT AIN'T YOUR ASS THEY'RE SHOOTIN' AT
I WANT TO KNOW WHERE MY COUNTRY WENT
I'M A PATRIOT WITHOUT A PRESIDENT

YOU DON'T GET IT

A SWAGGER IS A SUBSTITUE
TO COVER UP WHAT'S SCARING YOU
ALL THAT POWER ALL THAT WEALTH
IT'S AN EMPTY MAN THAT'S FULL OF HIMSELF
YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP YOU'RE OVER YOUR HEAD
THERE'S TENS OF THOUSANDS LYING DEAD
FOR REASONS YOU CAN'T JUSTIFY SO YOU TELL A LIE

YOU DON'T GET IT
