STRANGELAND
Went to the land of turned around
I was so happy that I frowned
to get there I first had to leave
in telling truth had to deceive
The stars shine darkly at my feet
folks say goodbye before they meet
to save means spending even more
and peaceful stands for all out war
Here Dolly Parton is flat chested
only honest people get arrested
receiver of the least votes wins
character is defined as sins
To stay the same is cutting back
black is white and white is black
established truths are really lies
love goes to those who we despise
Roofs are open to the rain
take aspirin to bring on the pain
red means go and green means stop
beginners start out at the top
Leaders shake hands when they disagree
and only blinded people see
you ask "where is this place,old son?"
So sad to say it's Washington
I was so happy that I frowned
to get there I first had to leave
in telling truth had to deceive
The stars shine darkly at my feet
folks say goodbye before they meet
to save means spending even more
and peaceful stands for all out war
Here Dolly Parton is flat chested
only honest people get arrested
receiver of the least votes wins
character is defined as sins
To stay the same is cutting back
black is white and white is black
established truths are really lies
love goes to those who we despise
Roofs are open to the rain
take aspirin to bring on the pain
red means go and green means stop
beginners start out at the top
Leaders shake hands when they disagree
and only blinded people see
you ask "where is this place,old son?"
So sad to say it's Washington
