Radio Caracas

Whatever happened to Radio Caracas?
venezuelan government told us we better stop
listening to the songs
that told us bout what went wrong
so they put up the network station
told us what we didn't want to hear
hoping looney tunes and pretty woman
would help to vanquish our fear.
you've been walking barefoot all your life
and now they're gonna buy you shoes
you've been walking barefoot all your life
lord knows
we've paid some dues
he's a
genius
and an idiot
just like
me
somebody
tell him
it's the only way to break free.
poetry is the most important
art don't you know that it's the science of my heart?
you can keep your philosophies
took you 20 years to start your life
as you knew it
you knew it and you blew it.
