Pere Ubu:Something's Gotta Give

You've got to feel sorry
For the guy
No reason
But brother feeling

Our man in the rain hat
had to have his say
Live and let live
The old man watches the water rise,
Man, everybody knows
Something's gotta give!

And when it goes
It starts rolling out of everywhere
Through floorboards, cracks in walls
Oozing down the chimney, halls
A real Son of Blob job!

Welcome to our town
People swept along!
People swept along and how?
With goats, cats, dogs and hats
oozing down the chimney fast
A real Son of Blob job!

Nations rise and fall
Dentist appointments forgotten by great and small
Mighty or humble
Wiseman or fool
Rivulet or Old Man River
Flaps flipping out of slots every which a way!
And when it goes
It starts rolling out of everywhere
