All Thing's Consdidered Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

There is this older guy 

That comes around from time to time 

We're sure that he fought in the war 

The war in Vietnam 

Most of what he tells us 

No one's verified 

He swears that he was there 

The day that Brendan Behan died 

He also claims he trained 

A kid named Cassius Clay 

He cost Goldwater the election 

On election day 

If he was still with us today 

Then he would introduce 

Us to his closest friend 

the one and only Lenny Bruce 

The truth is what he used to and 

What he's had to do and 

What he's seen (and what he's done) 

All things considered, what he's telling us 

Isn't hurting anyone 

We knew it's true 

He's short a few 

Check out the deck, it's light 

Said he wrote the entire soundtrack to A Hard Day's Night 

On Peyton Place played second place 

He says but he regrets 

The stadium was Shea, the team, the New York Mets 

The truth is what he used to and 

What he's had to do and 

What he's seen (and what he's done) 

All things considered, what he's telling us 

Isn't hurting anyone 

All things considered 

He's not bitter 

He's not mean (and he's not done) 

All things considered, what he's telling us 

Isn't hurting anyone 

There is this older guy 

That comes around from time to time 

We're sure that he fought in the war 

The war in Vietnam 

Most of what he tells us 

No one's verified 

He swears that he was there 

The day that Brendan Behan died 

The truth is what he used to and 

What he's had to do and 

What he's seen (and what he's done) 

All things considered, what he's telling us 

Isn't hurting anyone 

All things considered 

He's not bitter 

He's not mean (and he's not done) 

All things considered, what he's telling us 

Isn't hurting anyone
