My Son, My Secretary and My Country

Taken from "Earthquake Glue" 2003

"with your mission wilting,
and your kids sulking,
happy birthday mr. sink.
throw your flowers in the river and drink.
weve got cowbells and clay,
make us all obey,
and work will be of worth,
for the sketch of explorers,
and the hot air annoyers,
good men destoyers,
future employers,
cowboys and lawyers,
and we all will be warriors.
Rahhhhhhhhh!"

What sounds like a Lo-Fi band starts this song off, trumpets and bugles and what-not and has a real patriotic feel to it. Then we are off on a strumming 60s sounding sound. The "Rahhhhhhhh!" ending is just ace. Good song.
