Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

A new tune by my friend who "can't stay mum. War isn't working."




Lifted from: bobnield

Well he looked to the right, and he looked to the left
He felt something funny as it pierced through his vest
And the bullet gave another of America’s best
To Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

He was just 23, with a wife and a kid
And he joined at 18, like a good young man did
And he bought all the bullshit from the cowards who hid
Behind Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

They cower and cringe and they make other’s pay
For their greedy decisions while they kneel down and pray
And seek absolution from an idol of clay
Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

Maybe someday we’ll know why the good die so young
Why a mother’s heart’s brok’n by a rocket or gun
Why the rich just get richer and the poor pay the sum
To Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

When you gas up your car instead of buying kid’s shoes
Think of Oil Man’s profits, know that his kid’s excused
From the high cost of living, from his body being used
By Our Lady of Perpetual Motion

You may think that I’m rash, or politically naive
That I don’t know how to play with a card up my sleeve
It’s just, I refuse to bow at the knee
To Our Lady of Perpetual Motion
