Shaolin Style

-------------------------------
I've been looking for some help
can't quite slay the big white whale
Alcohol, and cigarettes, and firearms,
will bring you peace
alcohol will make you smart
cigarettes will make you cool
firearms will bring you peace
as close to peace as you wanna be
there's a yard sale in my head
it starts each day when I get out of bed
poetry, and minivans, democracy,
can't make you free
poetry won't buy you food
minivans will spoil the mood
democracy can't make you free
free the way you're supposed to be
There's a rainstorm in my hat
with wind and hail and thunderclaps
politics, and felonies, and movie stars,
will bend your smile
politics won't win you friends
felonies will make amends
movie stars will bend your smile
and make your kung fu shao-lin style
and make your kung fu shao-lin style...
Alcohol, and cigarettes, and firearms,
will bring you peace
