Kevin Gilbert - Joytown lyrics

Fathers they have big hands and they pat gently on your head Mothers always make sure everyone is happy and well fed And everything is instant, no one has to wait too long And Lennon never has to sing a Paul McCartney song We're living here in Joytown, the City of the Sun And everyone loves everyone loves every single one No one sells his roommate's stuff so he can get a fix And no one fears the darkness, no one fears the number six Everyone talks openly of great things they have read And no one ever says the things that are better left unsaid And everyone has someone they can share their sadness with No one leaves the slightest doubt, no one takes the fifth Jesus and Muhammed and Buddha live in town Zoraster and Ba'h'aula and Moses hangs around And when they get together they are quite a noisy crew They laugh about their legacies over cigarettes and brew Senator McCarthy enjoys a book by Marx And people tear down parking lots So they can build more parks And Jimi plays the perfect note that never seems to end and Martin Luther King has got a blond white girlfriend We're singing here in Joytown Won't you come and sing along? We'll never tell you that you ain't singing the right notes, Never criticize your song.
