Slouching Toward the Millenium

K. Kristofferson

A Moment of Forever

INTRO: D

D G D

It's time for truth the barker said and poured hisself a beer

A

Oh yea for sooth said Ben the Geek but who'll be left to hear

D G D

They've driven off the fools and saints and now they stole the show

A D

It's all a bloody circus mates and clowns are in control

If that's the truth said Marzipan the midget from the floor

I know there won't be no demand for midgets anymore

We used to be a novelty by simply being small

But next to them unholy men our Tiny Tim looks tall

CHORUS:

G D

And it's harder to matter at all when it's all comin' down (and it's all comin' down)

G D

You've still got your duty to choose how you live or you die (that's just the way it is)

G D

So many warnings to turn this old rascal around

A D

We'd better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try

SPOKEN OVER CHORUS CHORDS (during SOLO):

From the bombin' over baghdad, to the burnin' down of Waco

In the television courtrooms of our trials, we can see

If you wanna kill your parents, cut off somebody's business

All you gotta do is make 'em hate the victim and you're free

Like Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, David Koresh

CHORUS

D A D

We better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try
