lyrics

I remember when you said you were leaving
Hurricane winds brought a business opportunity

So you bought a little land
and built a high rise property
Fancy people moved in
And you became your own man

Do you remember when
you heard the drums of Burundi?
The colonial twin would be white skinned and groovy

You put together the band
To bang the beats out properly
and did The Mockingbirds land?
Or was that not part of the plan?

I can’t speak for your father, son
But your mother didn’t raise no carpetbagger

I remember when I said you were perfect
The infallible kid
God’s gift to humanity

It isn’t hard to understand
Mr. Greenspan’s philosophy
Or how the devil Ayn Rand
Turns a boy into a brand

I can’t speak for your father, son
But your mother didn’t raise no carpetbagger
