Possum Song

Momma said that I was just going through a phase

Calling from her mobile phone somewhere in the everglades

Told her I was shattered by what I saw on TV

The country's going down the tubes and the government's asleep

The streets are on fire, my bank's gonna fold

Can't find a 1-900 number that can save us all

"Yes sir, no sir," was all I had to say

When my mad as hell father called me from his hotel in L.A.

He said son your momma tells me that you're going out of your mind

With paranoid delusions of a country that is blind
