where are all the others
mothers, fathers
missing brothers
where are you?

what are all these whispers
bleeding blisters
crying sisters
where are you?

sell me out
cash me in
pick me up
lay me down

down in the basement
found a replacement
up in the ceiling
Mary is kneeling down

who hired all these talkshow scholars
lending spending rubber dollars
in my name?

who inspired this royal highness
spineless blindness clueless genius
that we blame?

try it on
show it off
put it down
blow it off

down in the basement
found a replacement
up in the ceiling
Mary is kneeling down

back
