73 – Dan Bern – letras

If Barry bonds is really taking somethingTo hit make him hit more homers than beforeThey gotta throw him out of the game, sirThey gotta throw him out the doorThen burn the porn films with all the girls with implantsBurn the poetry by men who took lithium as boysYour erection compliments of LevitraIs hereby rendered null and soft and voidThen rip the contact lenses from your eyes, sirYou’re not really supposed to see naturally that wellNo more flu shots or antibioticsYou’re supposed to still be sick my friendIn the future they say we’re gonna live180 years, or 200And you know they’ll be some jerk going around pointingSaying you’re supposed to be dead, supposed to be deadDisgrace by hint and suspicionIt’s point and cast a cloud of instant shameAnd the president stamps the witch hunt with approvalAnd McCarthy gets sent back into the gameI’d like to now make a statementI’d like to make a statement nowFor a three-year period I was taking steroidsAnd my songs for that time are now in doubtI apologize to my familyI apologize to you, the fansI apologize to the very craft of songwritingI’ll take my punishment with all the grace I canGod Said No and Black Tornado, throw ‘em outI wrote them while the juice was in my veinsEverything I’ve sung since Fuck the MonkeyGo ahead and throw it down the drainImagine a world where everyone’s taking somethingImagine such a world then just for funImagine the president’s taking smart pillsThat’d be even better than 73 home runsDisgrace by hint and suspicionIt’s point and cast a cloud of instant shameAnd the president stamps the witch hunt with approvalAnd McCarthy gets sent back into the game737373 home runs737373 home runs
