Lyrics

[Verse 1] A birdie and a hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Myles Standish proud, congratulate me [Refrain] A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe [Verse 2] Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand Of the powers, the only vote that matters Silence means security, silence means approval Waltons Zenith on the TV, tiger run around the tree Follow the leader, run and turn into butter [Chorus] Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again like Martin Luther, Zen The mythology begins the begin [Verse 3] Answer me a question, I can't itemize, I can't think clear You look to me for reason, it's not there I can't even rhyme in the begin [Refrain] A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Example, the finest example is you [Verse 4] A birdie and a hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Myles Standish proud, congratulate me [Outro] A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again
