RANDOM HOLLOW DIESEL TRAIN
(AL ROSE - WHEEL SEA MUSIC / ASCAP)

The random hollow diesel train speeds across the land
With a Diamond Vision screen on its side showing videos of trains
And big speakers blaring train sounds with whistles and screeches and car wrecks
And the people gather round, do the wave, get bored, go home
And dream of logos

I over heard a man of god standing at the bar
My god shines a brighter light and he drives a better car
My god and your god were hanging out their robes
My god gets the whiter whites, brighter colors, golder golds
And more suicide bombers

Makes me so proud. Glory Hallelujah
So proud. I just can’t look away
So proud. I’m trying to find the exodus
So proud. Shit like this you can’t make up

The random hollow diesel train burns a lot of oil
Smiles a vapor smile while it’s poisoning the soil
And the people that are driving are the ones I trust the least
You can tell the way they smile their smiles that we’re nothing to them
Slightly less than half the voters voted with their ass
Then the circus came to circus town and they got to do their act
Now we got a frat boy president but the president can’t read
The president can’t talk and the president can’t breathe ‘til they say breathe

Makes me so proud It’s like living in a drug test, baby
So proud. He’s like a monkey with a stroke
So proud. I just can’t look away
So proud. Shit like this you can’t make up

The random hollow diesel train burns its light on me
No restriction factory cooking abandon makes the light hotter and hotter
Greedy leaders bleeding sleaze, paying back contributors on their knees
Sizzling the earth in the name of money

Makes me so proud. It’s either a good nightmare or a bad dream
So proud. I just can’t look away
So proud. Shining like an eagle with a melanoma
So proud. Shit like this you can’t make up
