This Is Not A Song, Its An Outburst Lyrics - Cold Fact - Rodriguez

The mayor hides the crime rate 

council woman hesitates 

Public gets irate but forget the vote date 

Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining 

Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting 

you're not like all of the rest 

Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected 

Politicians using, people they're abusing 

The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river 

And you tell me that this is where it's at 

Woke up this morning with an ache in my head 

I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed 

I opened the window to listen to the news 

But all I heard was the Establishment's Blues. 

Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring 

Divorce the only answer smoking causes cancer 

This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune 

And that's a concrete cold fact 

The pope digs population, freedom from taxation 

Teeny Bops are uptight, drinking at a stoplight 

Miniskirt is flirting I can't stop so I'm hurting 

Spinster sells her hopeless chest 

Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction 

The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted 

Living by a time piece, new war in the Far East 

Can you pass the Rorschach test? 

It's a hassle it's an educated guess. 

Well, frankly I couldn't care less.
