Verses
If I give you all the whys
And some of the what fors
Your head spins around
Like a bottle
On a well-polished floor
In amongst the bric-a-brac
Was an old dinosaur
Think his name was George
Been in the family
Since I was four
Got it for my birthday
From the old General’s store
He wasn’t a soldier
Anymore
Drank a lot on July the 4th
Then travelled the neighborhood
With an American flag
In an old beat up Ford
How could you ever
Get bored
Who could ever ask
For more
Do the kids ever play
Outdoors
Anymore
As the sunlight strains
Their eyes
From the darkness
They emerge
Like soldiers returning
From the front lines
Camouflaged in lies
Wondering where
Their enemies reside
Another lonely widow
Cries
About loneliness and
American Pie
As generals and majors
Eulogize
Lying about how
Many died
With the flick of
A finger
In the blink of an eye
There was an interruption
To the lullaby
I sang about butterflies
Dragonflies
And how many we
Could be divided by
While the greedy hands
Swung from the rafters
In their old school ties
Chorus
But who could ever ask
For more
Tell me if you are not sure
Don’t the kids play
Outside anymore
There will be no more
Fighting
Keep it all inside
Indoor wars
M8
I keep watching
From the best seat
In the house
Just in case
I miss something
From the passing the crowd
