1
Maybe just a good nights sleep
2
Would have changed your troubled mind
3
From that rather permanent decision
4
So tragic, so unkind
5
Now pain is what you've given
6
And sleep is what you'll get
7
So far away from that sweet baby child
8
Who hardly knew you yet
9
Now he'll grow up to be a fighter
10
Full of anger, full of shame
11
Like all the other haunted children
12
Who wonder why they came
13
And he'll be in and out of trouble
14
Until he stands up or he falls
15
But there will always be a shadow there
16
No matter how it goes
17
Damn it, Rose
18
Is this another cryptic message
19
Or some kind of cosmic quiz?
20
If there's a lesson to be learned from this
21
Well, I don't know what it is
22
You could have given us the finger
23
Much more constructively than that
24
Now I sit here with the MTV
25
And your bloated Burmese cat
26
We're being treated to the wisdom
27
Of some puffed up little fart
28
Doing exactly what I used to do
29
Pretensions to anarchy and art
30
He speaks the language of a warrior
31
He mounts his misinformed attack
32
He wears the clothes of a dissenter
33
But there's a logo on his back
34
And it's a hollow rebellion
35
As rebellions mostly are
36
It's just another raging tempest
37
In a jar
38
And the seasons keep on changing
39
And the wind blows hot and cold
40
Wish that you were here with us
41
To watch this tide as it ebbs and flows
42
Damn it, Rose, damn it, Rose, damn it, Rose
