The Overthrow

(album: Tiny Little Movies - 2020)

First rat off a dead ship
See it sinking like a stone
TV preacher with a fat lip
Crying in the pulpit all alone
I can see through you
Like a cheap sheet of glass
Sell a promise to a poor man
Steal it back so fast

The emptiness it shows
But you don't believe it
I don't think you know
But here comes the overthrow

Slow dancing with a straw man
With a match and gasoline
Darth Vader with a spray tan
And a girly magazine
Dance little monkeys
I see you feasting on the crumbs
It's almost over
Hear them banging on the drums

The emptiness it shows
But you don't believe it
I don't think you know
But here comes the overthrow

The emptiness it shows
But you don't believe it
I don't think you know
It's hard to conceive it
The emptiness it shows
But you don't believe it
I don't think you know
But here comes the overthrow
Here comes the overthrow
