Perfect Sense (Parts I and II) - Live
The Monkey sat on a pile of stone And he starred at the broken bone in his hand The strings of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land And the monkey looked up at the stars And he thought to himself memory is a stranger History is for fools And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town Hold on, hold on solider When you add it all up the tears and the marrow bone There's an ounce of Gold and a ounce of pride in each measure And the Germans killed the Jews and the Jews killed the Arabs and the Arabs killed the hostages and that is the news Is it any wonder that the Monkey's confused? He said Mama, the president's a fool Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals? And the joint chiefs of staff and the brokers on Wall Street said 'Don't make us laugh you're a smart kid. Time is linear, memory's a stranger, history's for fools, man is a tool in the hands of the great God almighty. And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine and sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden. Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Little black soul departs in perfect focus Prime time fodder for the News at Nine Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert And welcome to our telecast Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's a beautiful day And today we expect a sensational matchup But first our global anthem Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense And here come the players As I speak to you now the captain Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig It looks to me like he's going to attack By the way did you know that a submarine Captain earns 200, 000 dollars a year Oh that's less tax Marv yeah less tax Uh thank you Emery you're welcome Now back to the game he fires one yes There goes two both fish are running The rig is going into a prevent defense Will they make it I don't think so Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sensed
