lyrics

Something Must Be Done

I was minding my own business when my conscience came alive
Overhead a distant needle silver in the sky
On his deathbed
my dear dad said
justice hurts...
He went back home ten plenty times

Still the same no outlet signs
On his deathbed my dear dad said
just four words my son
something must be done
something must be done
something must be done

Sleep friends deeply like children
you should see your eyes when reality seeps in
yeah I’m sorry for the things I have done
as do I them all again
and again they seem such fun
look at all my friends

Drove to Tijuana for a cup of coffee
saw the mother and daughter
Pendejo bought the magazine it seemed so funny
the mercado there was taking his fake money
we’re laughing running out to the truck waving the picture

Willie found out about us down on the corner
found the mother and daughter
On his deathbed my dear dad said
just these words
always remember our mother and daughter
our only mother and daughter
what’s supposed to come after?

a nearly naked mother with a daughter tightly wrapped
needs a dollar for a cough she can’t admit she has
john hey take a look at that
and I’m thinking:
Something must be done!
