about

Lyrics and music by Juliana Graffagna
For all struggling souls. R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman.

lyrics

Oh, my sister, have you heard
Those voices claim to know the word
The truth the gospel told you to believe in
Like suntanned boys of summertime
They fool your weary mind

//Isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame
Isn’t it a shame, a deep dark shame //

Oh, my mother, dig in deep
Don’t wake those doggies as they sleep
Don’t listen to their tales and how they lie, lie, lie
And day will come and day will go
Maybe that’s just all we know.

Oh, my brother, be on guard
For demons creeping in the yard
A jingle masquerading as a symphony
But once you put that needle down
The record played without a sound
It was too late to turn back round.
