Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

Inauguration Day

by Bow Thayer (download song)

Alarm bell rings at six o’clock, outside it’s cold and gray
Ain’t no point gettin’ up this mornin’, it’s inauguration day
It’s inauguration day

God looked down from heaven just to see what he could find
He found a burnin’ Bush in the White House, just about blew his mind
For the second time

Did you get your invite to the billion dollar bash
I wish I had a nickel for each ballot in the trash
Oh, ballots in the trash

-- Chorus --
I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
Inauguration day, it’s inauguration day

Grammar school teacher, mother of three
Pack a lunch, grab a gun, we’re goin’ overseas
Oh, goin’ overseas

Collaterals in Bagdad, but it don't hit the fan
U.S. weekend warriors are lyin’ in the sand
Oh, dyin’ in the sand

Reds’ll claim the nation, blues’ll weep and mourn
The rich will still vacation where it’s safe and warm
Oh where it’s safe and warm

-- Chorus --
’Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day

-- Instrumental Bridge –-

-- Chorus --
’Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day

Al-Jazeera, MTV, Fox on the news
The forecast is a snow job, Dan Rather sings the blues
He sings them headline blues

I ain’t no political analyst, but as far as I can tell
These four years might not be so bad if I don’t get blown to hell
If I don’t get blown to hell

The alarm clock rings at nine o’clock
Outside it’s cold and gray, ain’t no point in getting’ up this mornin’
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day

The alarm clock rings at ten o’clock
Still outside it’s cold and gray, ain’t no point in getting’ up this mornin’
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day, inauguration day

-- Chorus --
Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day
