Black-eyed Susan
you make us nervous
because we're very aware
that you do not care
Black-eyed Susan
what don't you believe in?
"No is always easier than Yes"
Black-eyed Susan
you must insist:
"I am You are a born again atheist"
with heavy rings on
bitten fingers
Black-eyed Susan sometimes
Shakes to break
- so watch it
Black-eyed Susan
rest and do nothing
because it's the only thing that
you do quite well
Black-eyed Susan
rest and do nothing
because it's the only thing that
you do quite well
Black-eyed Susan
rest and do nothing
because it's the only thing that
you do quite well
Black-eyed Susan
please remember
we were the first
we were the first
