about

It's only about six minutes, but is guaranteed to seem much longer.

lyrics

I always take the safe path. The other one might lead
somewhere dark and scary where I’d be made to bleed

chorus:
My heart’s become open book that no one wants to read

Republicans are loathsome, a foul and heartless breed
They ridicule or turn their backs on those who are in need

I can’t abide the politicians limiting our speed
Florida and Texas should be made to secede

Behold the flash Italian cars all begging to be keyed!
I haven’t been indicted yet. Don’t ask me how I’ll plead

No electric scooter can replace a trusty steed
I don’t think you’re a baker although I know you knead

The world is going to hell but those we voted for won’t heed
the scared meteorologists. It’s terrifying, indeed!

The academic upstairs won’t wear anything but tweed
We argue sometimes heatedly but mostly we’ve agreed

My next door neighbour Olaf ain’t no Viking. He’s a Swede
IKEA, though is Danish, if it’s furniture you need

I’ve been hassled often after games I’ve refereed
I know that life’s uncertain though and nothing’s guaranteed

Some folks look down on rescue dogs and must have pedigreed
When it comes to pets, though, l’ll stick with my centipede

My bladder said I’m bursting, What a thing to have decreed
I did what any fella would. Found privacy and peed

Your grandest expectations I’m attempting to exceed
Sometimes I can’t help feel though like a kitten that’s been treed

Gordon Gecko shot to fame by celebrating greed
He used lots of toot, I’d guess, but very little weed

Please excuse me now. I’ve got some riot acts to read
Praise to Mr. Jesus. After all these year I’m freed!

John Mendelssohn London, UK

John Mendelssohn is a withered old embarrassment from Santa Monica, California, who, n spite of fervent listener indifference, or even antipathy, been writing and recording music for over 50 years. NYC Rock called him “one of our more unique pop personalities, and like no one you have ever heard. From hard jingle-jangles to experimental symphonic pop, his taste roams the landscape.” ... more
