There's a Chinese girl in an Irish Bar on the pier in Hermosa Beach She says if I've got a ladder I could keep her out of reach Hit the burner for a midwife who was licensed back in Cork For creams and oils and butters and a head of local lore Protection from the bullies and the callous and the cruel With a scholarly solution that she didn't learn from school They give us winks and nuzzles They pat us on the back It's good to know they love us The insurgency is on track But at the wrong end of the muzzle You can swear that you'll retract But after all the blood and trouble Only fools would give it back Got a phone call from a brother I thought died in '96 Dodging one shot or another, maybe he's just playing sick But he says he brought a flower he received from Krishna Das It might just give us power or it might just keep us lost They give us winks and nuzzles They pat us on the back It's good to know they love us The insurgency is on track But at the wrong end of the muzzle You can swear that you'll retract But after all the blood and trouble Only fools would give it back We all say we love you with a promise and a kiss The angels above you will reward you for this There's an Irish girl in a blown up car, it's a Jetstar 88 And the priest and paramedics pass the Powers while they wait They hope to hear confession and location of the gold She could have had it easy had she spoke when she was told The arrangement of the flowers from Ram and Krishna Das Is filling us with power and a nagging sense of loss The gasoline we guzzle Turns our blood from red to black The rage begins to bubble And we're back on the attack They give us winks and nuzzles They pat us on the back It's good to know they love us The insurgency is on track But at the wrong end of the muzzle You can swear that you'll retract But after all the blood and trouble Only fools would give it back We all say we love you with a promise and a kiss The angels above you will reward you for this God says he loves you with your name on the list The angels above you will reward you for this
