Simon Keeper
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross Irony oh irony Upon me it's never lost
Gather 'round now people I'm here to tell a tale About a man who walks among you A man you each know well
My name is Simon Keeper I had a wife and three grown kids A job in the towers cooking the books For the shills that grease the skids
Irony oh irony You are a bitter fruit to eat Stripped of all your beauty Your flesh is none too sweet
Now I ain't the most honest man That ever worked a skim I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar And brother that was it
Fifty-four and a big black mark Upon my resume I found selling off what you don't own Might earn you the time of day
Next it was a letter From my darling one 'What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine' Sealed with a hug and kiss
One by one my children Closed their lives to me Lessons learned on Daddy's knee 'Give no quarter to the weak'
Irony oh irony 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 You are the polar seed of truth You grow upon the open plain The faithful you uproot
Kicked around 'bout a year Living hand to mouth Then one day tryin' to bum a light I felt my will give out
Sat right down on a corner Started prayin' a little too loud Left my troubles far behind When I saw them empty their pockets out
Irony oh irony You are a treacherous son of a bitch Pretending not to care about The heights you'll never reach
Now I won't start in preaching About reaping what you sow This is the story of a half-hearted man Half honest as they go
But sit on down and rest a spell I've got another tale to tell About a lost young man in a faraway land Whose life is just too easy to sell
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross Irony oh irony Upon me it's never lost
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross Irony oh irony Upon me it's never lost
