Me or Him

Lyrics

You wake up in the morning
 Get something for the pot
 Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot
 Draw on the walls
 Eat, get laid
 Back in the good old days
 Then some damn fool invents the wheel
 Listen to the whitewalls squeal
 You spend all day looking for a parking spot
 Nothing for the heart
 Nothing for the pot
 Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio
 Oh, how he wanted to talk to the people
 He wanted his own show
 Tune in Moscow
 Tune in New York
 Listen to the Welsh kid talk
 Communicating like in the good old days
 
 Forgive me father for I have sinned
 It was either me or him
 And a voice said, ["BennyYou fucked the whole thing upBenny your time is upYour time is up."]
 ♪
 Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio
 
 He wanted to talk to the people
 He wanted his own show
 Tune in Moscow
 Tune in New York
 Listen to the Welsh kid talk
 Communicating like the good old days, the good old days
 Forgive me Father
 [Welsh Policeman:] "Mobile One Two to Central."
 For I have sinned
 [Welsh Policeman:] "We have a multiple on the A465
 between Cwmbran and Cylgoch."
 Father it was either me or him
 ♪
 Father can we turn back the clock?
 
 [Welsh Policeman:] "Ambulance, over."
 I never meant to drop the concrete block
 [Welsh Policeman:] "Roger central, over and out."
 Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio
 He wanted to talk to the people
 He wanted his own show
 Tune in Moscow
 Tune in New York
 Listen to the Welsh kid talk
 Just like in the good old days
 The good old days
 [Radio announcer:] "Do you really think Iranian terrorists
 Would have taken Americans hostage
 If Ronald Reagan were president?
 ♪
 Do you really think the Russians
 Would have invaded Afghanistan
 ♪
 If Ronald Reagan were president?
 Do you really think third-rate military
 Dictators would laugh at America
 And burn our flag in contempt
 If Ronald Reagan were president?"
 [Concerned Citizen:] "Well, it might work!"
 [Hostage:] "We as a group do most importantly
 Want to beseech President Reagan
 And our fellow Americans
 To refrain from any form of military
 Or violent means as an attempt
 No matter how noble or heroic
 To secure our freedom."
 [Concerned Citizen:] "Sure!
 Only it's going to be mighty dangerous
 For you, Cassidy
 Hoppy's faithful sidekick
 Guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy, mister.
 Adventure's his bread
 Excitement's his butter
 And danger
 Why to him that's like
 Strawberry jam to top it off."
 [Jim:] "This is some live rock and roll at KAOS
 Where rock and roll comes out of chaos
 And a song called..."
