The Triple Bill Of Shame Lyrics

Mendoza Line The Triple Bill Of Shame

It was a triple bill of shame
Degradation and scorn
They pinned it all on you before you were born
Until you're sleeping on coals
Just to keep you warm tonight
They broke your hands
They destroyed your honor from the first cold glance
where they preen and saunter
They said if you won't take her someone's gonna want
her
I suppose they threw a ticker tape parade to
commemorate the call now
The confetti falls like cannon balls
All southern drawls and seasick waves as you pass by
In the motorcade near the paralegals and paired off
gents
All those parasites and sycophants
They're all paranormal
They appear discreet but they'll squak and claw like
parakeets
And you were once of interest to the nightly news and
the daily press
But now that you've outlived your uselessness
Do you know what doesn't happen next
They'll all call you by your number
They won't call you by your name
On the triple bill of shame
It was a triple bill of pain
Immolation and fear
They watched you month by month
They crept up year by year until you're chained to the
door stop
Just to keep you here tonight in your single mind from
your double bed
No one falls behind no one gets ahead
She said "how do i love the little bastard?
I could count the ways on one hand backwards"
But you still like to know where he's coming from
Though the whole of his parts is less than the sum
And you'll paint him with tar and chew him like gum
