| Lyrics: | I was sittin' home on the West End
Watchin' cable TV with a female friend
We were watchin'
the news, the world's in a mess
The poor and the hungry, a world in distress
Herpes, AIDS,
the Middle East at full throttle
Better check that sausage, before you put it in the
waffle
And while you're at it - check what's in the batter
Make sure that candy's in the
Original Wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter
Make sure that candy's in the
Original Wrapper
Reagan says abortion's murder
While he's looking at Cardinal
O'Connor
Look at Jerry Falwell Louis Farrakhan
Both talk religion and the brotherhood of
man
They both sound like they belong in Teheran
Watch out, they're goin' full
throttle
Better check that sausage, before you stick it in the waffle
And while you're at it
better check, what's in the batter
Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper
Hey,
pitcher, better check that batter
Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper
White
against white, Black against Jew
It seems like it's 1942
The baby sits in front of
MTV
Watching violent fantasies
While Dad guzzles beer with his favorite sport
Only to
find his heroes are all coked up
It's classic, original, the same old story
The politics of
hate in a new surrounding
Hate if it's good and hate if it's bad
And if this all don't make
you mad
I'll keep yours and I'll keep mine
Nothing sacred and nothing divine
Father,
bless me, we're at full throttle
Better check that sausage, before you put it in the
waffle
And while you're at it better check that batter
Make sure the candy's in the Original
Wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better |
