What Is Obvious To the Eye

You’re one of them people that think they’re real cool But man, I have seen a lot of fools just like you I’ve seen people get killed for nothing in this town And people die without ever having lived Every time I look into your pretty lying face Your eyes hit me like a twenty pound hammer I’ve got red socks and sharp suspenders A motorcycle and a couple of shotguns for fun Let’s take a dance baby on your heated seat We’ll wear Santa caps and sip cold vodka water We both know that Mickey Mouse’s hands tell lies Let's play with our eight grade pickled frog brains Let the police dogs sniff for explosives While we drink coffee and eat chocolate cheesecake Let us genuflect before baked ham and bloodshot eyes Let the mortgage rates drop and the foreclosures climb Come on baby, straddle my motorcycle seat Let’s blow this place, while the reporters print What is obvious to the eye
