Lyrics for Begin The Begin

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand Of the power, the only vote that matters Silence means security, silence means approval Watchin' Zenith on the TV, tiger run around the tree Follow the leader, run and turn into butter Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again like Martin Luthers in The mythology begins the begin Answer me a question, I can't itemize I can't think clearly, look to me for reason It's not there, I can't even rhyme, begin the begin A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Example, the finest example is you Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I looked for it and I found it Miles Standish proud, congratulate me A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe Let's begin again, begin the begin Let's begin again
