THE SONG

Do the one about the Pope.

Sing the song about the Holy Ghost and his bitches

and how they dragged the river for Baby Jeebus

but they couldn't find him

so they went uptown for some smack.

Do the one about religious addiction

and the ice cream

and the kouskous shortage out East these days

since the recent revolutions in American Ideology.

Sing the song about the change that has come

and how everything's different now

and maybe not for the better.

Sell it to us.

Prove to us your philosophy in parable

and syllabic rhyme

and rhythm.

Sing us the song.

Satisfy us.

Do the hit.
