Brenda Kahn - Goldfish Don't Talk Back lyrics

I used to get scared when the planes went by I thought a russian bomb would drop out of the sky Thought i'd fight and die and go to heaven but i've Learned some things since then Like no one really knows what's 2+2 You can't always trust The Man in Blue You may think the work gone mad But baby they think it's you Every candy store on the block sells crack Every supreme court ruling is 3 steps back Here's acid rain in the drinking water But the goldfish they don't talk back This song is for Phil Oaks Who hung himself with a length of rope He took his job seriously He weren't no 9 to 5 folk singer Like the ones on MTV That's what Kirk Kelly said to me On the corner of Clinton and Houston Street where Every candy store on the block sells crack Every supreme court ruling is 3 steps back Here's acid rain in the drinking water But the goldfish they don't talk back I went down to the laundry mat There's a woman with a face like a Siamese cat Trying to wash her only clothes, the clothes on her back She's in a St. Vincent's wheelchair But it look like St. Vincent doesn't care She's a 60lb skeleton in underwear Mr. president The nation doesn't look secure Are you sure what you spent All our money for? There's a great big hole Where the sky used to be And there's an a**hole On my TV who says "Act now you get nine issues free Plus an issue of women with an eating disease" Every candy store on the block sells crack Every supreme court ruling is 3 steps back There's acid rain in the drinking water But the goldfish they don't talk back ....let's not be goldfish now
