Religion, Economy, Politics
At any church you'll find on sale the flag and the cross
That gives the clergy and politicians more gross
As they establish themselves as the boss
While the poor march into war and get their lives loss
Neil Young is too sacred for cheesy merchandise
But you can buy a Jesus fish at a low price
TV evangelists speak of God being up in heaven so far away
But send them some money and God will come on pay
Of course none of this is true
God is close to all of you
Regardless of race or wealth
God helps everyone's spiritual health
Black Alley Cat
Black alley cat trying to raise a litter
The father ran off leaving the kittens to her
She lives worse than all alone
She's lonely with responsibilities beyond her own
All the little kids pet the poor alley cat
But condescendingly wash their hands after that
She'd like to be able to go to the vet
But she doesn't want to live as somebody's pet
She purrs in the stranger's laps
Trying to bring her family scraps
If a lonely house could take in the whole kin
She and her litter could move out of the trash bin
Misinterpret
Don't misinterpret
The message you don't get
Even if you can't relate
The message is not on debate
What's said is said
What's read is read
You can twist it and turn it every which way
You can say anything about it you want to say
Only the artist can define his art
The only one who's seen it from the start
So all the more you point to blame
The more you should feel the shame
