Critic's Carnival Lyrics - Singles - Magellan

The solano county engineering archives, vault 1 

Feel free, write your scathing indictment 

Pick us apart with your joke of a pen 

Pacified poet, standing alone you know it 

I hear you preaching: 

"do it again - won't you please do it again? " 

Plenty of time - hear the hypocrites whine 

Pathetic business - 

Take it, test it, know it, burn it 

It's all a game you play so mealy mouthed 

At the trough we lay 

I hear you pleading: 

"do it again - won't you please do it again? " 

Take it all upon you now 

Make you mark somehow 

And keep it going 

With illusions that you're real 

And phrases that you'll steall 

At your best you'll drag them down 

I've heard it all before 

It's all been said before 

Extending all an invitation - welcome to the 

Critic's carnival - 

Where writers think they know more than you 

No, don't be a fool at critic's carnival 

A bully pulpit built to spin a phrase 

Will "pitch" a sermon for you 

If you've got the money to pay at the 

Critic's carnival 

Buy fifty dollar words, try bull-shit 

No, don't be deceived at critic's carnival... 

Invite us to your ivory tower 

Impress me with your 

Insightfull gift of genius 

Yes, you can dish it out 

A coward too much clout 

Hungry for power - 

Do it again - won't you please do it again? 

Monday morning's last draft quarterback 

Get it right get it wrong 

We've just dragged on too long 

It's all a game you play 

So mealy mouthed at the through we lay 

I know you hear me! 

Do it again won't you please do it again? 

Well?
