Kris Kristofferson - Slouching Toward The Millenium lyrics

It's time for truth the barker said and poured his self a beer Oh yeah forsooth said Ben the Geek but who'll be left to hear They've driven off the fools and saints and now they've stole the show It's all a bloody circus mates and clowns are in control If that's the truth said Marzipan the Midget from the floor I know there won't be no demand for Midgets anymore We used to be a novelty by simply being small But next to them unholy men now Tiny Tim looks tall And it's harder to matter at all when it's all comin' down (and it's all comin' down) You've still got your duty to choose how you live or you die (that's just the way it is) So many warnings to turn this old rascal around We better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try [ harmonica ] From the bombin' over Baghdad to the burnin' down at Waco In the television courtroom of our trials we can see If yow want to k** your parents or cut off somebody's business All you got to do is make them hate the victim and you're free Like Manuel Noriega Saddam Hussein David Koresh And it's harder to matter... We better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try
