R.e.m. - Begin The Begin (Live) lyrics

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand Insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand Of the powers, the only vote that matters Silence means security silence means approval On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree Follow the leader, run and turn into bu*ter Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again like Martin Luther's end The mythology begins the begin Answer me a question I can't itemize I can't think clear, you look to me for reason It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Example, the finest example is you Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand Insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again
