Incense the Revolution

It's lonely at the bottom
Just ask those that are there
Sad soldiers selling doomsday
If only someone cared
There wasn't enough comfortable failure
To incense the revolution
The churches all are closing
They've been cut down to size
Replaced by miles of graveyards
For the suicides
The poets back when could see it coming
They broke off the revolution

Jimmy Akin's 33rd Beard

I'm sorry Jeff Tweedy
Though this isn't 49
My ham radio is busted
Hell, it's barely keeping time
It oughta be a crime
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard
All those number stations
They're barely coming in
I'll tell you the secret
At least where to begin
You'll have to find the end
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard
My heroes at the square dance
Hear him on the call
He's fighting off the martians
He can take them all
And send them to St. Paul
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard
Paging Vince Lombardi
He had what it takes
I'm looking for a winner
Considering the stakes
The broken lucky breaks
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard
I'm feeling the magic
Just like kids again
A thousand years of heartache
Living in this skin
In the bargain bin
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard
I'm joining the protest
The ratings are absurd
The golden age has decayed
Take me at my word
I'm free as a bird
Things got bad and things got worse
Worse than we had feared
Then I started growing
Jimmy Akin's beard

A vagrant named Jimmy put his book away
The Last Days of Socrates set softly in his bag
He started asking questions and he never stopped
Until he reached an empty parking lot
It was there that Jimmy started talking to God
He asked him questions but never got a response
Still it was better than the market place
He could see his back but God wouldn't show his face
He went out begging by the subway trains
An old pagan king showed him a home on the range
Their minimalist dancing sure brought in a crowd
But it was just a little more than the law would allow
Soon they found Jesus in broadsides
But he said
"The soup can is the way"
So they burned their Picasso and all their furs
They broke into heaven in boots and silver spurs
Lou Reed met them at the pearly gate
He said, "This is heaven, but with this man you will wait"
When they got bored they took a train down to hell
Other than the warm beer it actually turned out pretty well
Lucifer said, "boy you're sure sinnin'
'Cuz all this bullshit was already done
By Dylan"
