Reggie's Dead

from Chompin' at the Bit by Deer Thomas

/

lyrics

They say three chords and then the truth
This time I don't feel it takes more than two
To tell you I'm funny, honey
And things get weird here, my dear

Maybe you've noticed already
When things are kind of heavy
When I'm strange, baby
And everything is hazy

Every man talking government
Every man his own parliament
Every man and his dog wants to rule the world
And I can't even rule-out insanity

Like the kid on my street
He's the son of a vet
He's hanging his head
Like he's dead in there

And everybody drives by
Saying
What's for dinner?
Lamb-chop

I open my eyes because I care
But eyesight doesn't do you any good around here
So what good is a carrot
When what you see makes you envy blind, huh?

I turned the television off because of it
My Father called it apathy
But every time I go for T.V. dinners
I think it's a sad world, again

Every girl on the block with a child
A hard-man and tired eyes
All I want is to hold someone
And yet I sleep alone every night

I went to work to get ahead
I woke at five feeling tired
Thanked the heavens that I am hired
Then wished like hell that I could quit for good

Reggie's dead

They say three chords and then the truth?
This time I don't feel it took more than two
To tell you why I'm funny honey
Why things get weird in here my dear

My dear
