Spin Doctors - Hey Dick lyrics

Now here's a fella who started shootin' off a guy

"Hey wow man, nice tie -- it looks sharp daddy-o"

Here it comes!

Meanwhile across the dial

I can't sleep for the sound of a file

Woaa haha

? commandos

rehearsin' alabis

I'm at my back window watchin' all the passers by

King shrugs

Dismissin' thugs

They walk out across the people he uses as rugs

She's no good for you man

Later on he's on TV

He says I'm just the same as you

And the rug folk know he's lyin' too

My teachers say nope

And the pope shoots dope

It's all up to my elbows, mama

And I'm slippin down the goddamn rope

Hey, Dick! Come quick!

Every soul is a precious ?nova's wick

In the fire place

There's letters and they're burning fast

And there's never been a shortage of public opinion in the past

Silver threads wound upon a skein of death.

Mortals toil away their tallied days like insects beneath a reign of breath.

Oh shit! And here it comes...

My teachers say nope

And the pope shoots dope.

It's all up to my elbows, mama

And I'm slippin down the goddamn' rope.

Oh, and here it comes....

Now here's a fella who started shootin' off a guy

"Hey wow man, nice tie -- it looks sharp daddy-o"

And here it comes....

"You gotta believe me people, your principal of your high school,

Chances are he told you some lies. And your history teacher he or

She told you bullshit. And a lot of books you read, guess what?

Esepecially if a teacher or a government person gave them to you --

They're a crock of fuckin' shit."
