lyrics

Amos

Proud little Amos was a born in this here land
and if trouble comes around little Amos gonna lend a hand
Righteous little Amos gonna keep his eyes on you
He'll be checkin in his book
Checkin all the things you do

But he's grinding down the spiral of his life
and don't he dread those lingerie and lipstick nights
You can't win a war when it's you you fight
All those swollen fists and the Limbaughists, well they don't make it right

Philosiphising Amos got some things to say about the law
Sons of bitches better run from his country and his god
Little ignoramus gets confused so he goes off
There ain't no riddle in the world, aint no problem that a fist can't solve

But he's goes grinding down the spiral of his life
Don't he dread those lingerie and lipstick nights
You can't win a war when it's you you fight
All those swollen fists and the Limbaughists, well they don't make it right

The end of each night finds him on his knees
Bloody knuckles turn the dial on his TV
As his sense of validation starts to dull
an evangelist to purify his soul

Amos liberator gonna hoist ol' Dixie back
Got a stack of sons of bitches rag and bone up in his shack
Little ignoramus gets confused so he goes off!
There ain't no riddle in the world, aint no problem that a fist can't solve
