Moan Voyage, Have a Nice Trip and See You Next Fall
MOAN VOYAGE
I see a great deal of people who smile
And say things such as “I’m going away for awhile”
Hell, I find these people vile
Now why would I use such a nasty word such as vile?
Perhaps because, as well, I am revolted by their style
I’ll give one of these people my shoes and let one walk in them for a mile
Oh but they’re so well quaffed and his clothes are fresh and clean
But man, I’ll tell you, he needs to see some of the things I’ve seen
You know, from the other side of the tracks where the grass is Kelly green
“Oh yes, she loudly whispers, we are going on a cruise”
S**t, alert the f*****g news
And I’d like to leave multi-marks of black and blues
So bon voyage you vile and vociferous crowd
And why must saying good bye on a ship be so loud?
Oh, because as they pull away from the dock they all feel so god damned proud
And I know it made a promise and to me took a vow
Yet the universe knows that I ain’t going no place no how
Not ever, and certainly not now
So I hope a huge tanker rams into their stately ship’s bow

With one hundred and twenty passengers, three life boats and only one hundred
life preservers, then let these high society slave owners discover what anarchy is all
about, and a disturbance with which I’ve been fighting against since 1967.
