Team Usa Going To Pieces

One moment there was a time When things had to be done on a dime I will never decline A VHS treasure find If you get over the hypocrite's hatred of the dirty mind Image beautiful and sweet Puzzle needing to complete Displaying a model athlete Depended on the qualifying heat When they compete Not able to afford graduating from state Revealing the losing scholarship death card, sealing their fate Every interlocking piece Police could connect to the recently deceased An idea from Spain Who would complain? The one winning the game? Achieving fame? And what about the loser looking for someone to blame? Back in eighty-two When LA lounged near the pool Pieces came out Reclining couch audiences screamed and shout Chainsaw dismembered Vietnam War remains remembered Finally, asking ‘is this the student’s life?’ Decided by the psycho's knife While the orchestra plays the fife And strums The patriotic drums Saying everything is all right Go ahead let’s all fight When slasher films unspooled, it made us feel Knowing the body parts were not real When thinking up a new deal Bring peace into the mix That is an answer we could all fix Killing is not a good plan Instead write a script my dear great grandson of Sam It may end up a streaming hit Especially lurking inside a tool boxers kit
