SHE TAKES CARE OF US ALL
WE LOVE HER
BUT WE DON’T KNOW HER
GALVESTON
OH GALVESTON
I LIVED THERE ONCE
BUT THERE WAS A HURRICANE
AND I HAD TO LEAVE
I HAD TO LEAVE
HURRICANES ARE DETERRENTS
BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE RENTER’S INSURANCE
I DON’T HAVE A THOUGHT
ABOUT RENTER’S INSURANCE
CAUSE I DON’T BELIEVE IN IT
SO GALVESTON
I HAD TO QUIT
I MOVED TO HOUSTON
AFTER THE FLOOD
HURRICANES ARE A DETERRENT
GLASS BOXES
WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE FAIR
THAT’S WHERE THE ARTISTS WERE IN THE GLASS BOXES
THEY WERE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
WE WERE GIVEN A PAMPHLET AT THE ENTRANCE
IT WAS A GUIDE TO PROPER REACTIONS TO ARTISTS
WE HAD TO ADHERE TO ONE RULE
KEEP SMILING
KEEP SMILING
ALWAYS SMILE
ALWAYS SMILE
WE MADE IT TO THE FIRST ARTIST IN THE FIRST SMALL GLASS BOX
SHE KEPT SCREAMING WATCH THIS WATCH THIS WATCH THIS
BUT SHE DID NOTHING
WE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
SO WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO OUR PAMPHLETS
AND IT SAID BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
NOW CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
AND WE KEPT SMILING
WE MADE IT TO THE SECOND GLASS BOX
IN IT THERE WAS AN ARTIST
WHO HAD THE ABILITY OF DEEP THOUGHT
HE SAID CONGLOMERATE WHITE BOX FAN OF FILLETED FRIED HAT
OF THE UPPERMOST REGIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS IN THE OCEANS
WE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
WE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO REACT
WE PULLED OUT OUR PAMPHLET IMMEDIATELY
AND WE READ TO SAY
WOW YOU UNDERSTAND
AND WE WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND
BUT WE DON’T
BECAUSE WE’RE NOT AS SMART AS YOU
YOU’RE TOO SMART FOR US
PLEASE CONTINUE CONTINUE CONTINUE
WE’RE IDIOTS WE’RE IDIOTS
YOU’RE SMART YOU’RE SMART YOU’RE SMART
AND WE KEPT SMILING
AND WE SMILED AND WE SMILED
AND WE WENT TO THE LAST GLASS BOX
IT WAS LARGER
THE ARTIST WAS MORE IMPORTANT
HE WAS MORE IMPORTANT
AND HE HAD THE ABILITY TO GROW A MUSTACHE AND A BEARD
AND HE WAS ABLE TO FIND IRONY WHERE THERE WAS NO IRONY
I STOPPED SMILING
I STOPPED SMILING
AND EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE SAW
AND WHEN THEY SAW
THEY RAN
AND THEY SCREAMED
AND THEY KICKED
AND THEY ASKED ME
WHAT DO YOU DO
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WHAT DO YOU CREATE
YOU’RE NOT….IN A GLASS BOX
