Reprobate's Resumé Lyrics & Chords By Les Savy Fav

"Blessed be the doctor
And blessed be the nurse,
Blessed be the coachman
Who put me in the hearse,
Blessed be the blessing,
And blessed be the curse."
He goes to bed
Bereft and berated
And rests his head
In the hands of the overrated.

Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge,
Sensing treason, they're not waiting around.
On the first bus out of town,
They're playing movies that we've already seen.
The jewelry advances as the gums recede.
The devil goes out dancing
On the angels' perceived needs.
Please go easy on me.

Cheap sex with a discount broker.
Cops' walkie-talkie squalks, "Breaker-breaker,
We've got to take her down to the station.
She says that that broker broke her."
Read the text at the ticker-tape parade.
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off.
Check the checks at the ticker-tape parade.
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off.

Insurance can't cover what the world's exposed:
Open nerves, touching toes
To stretch.
The A.C. made us retch.
Can you conceive of working for the emperor's new clothes?
Please go easy on me.
