Me Or Him? Songtext / Lyric

You wake up in the morning

Get something for the pot

Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot

Draw on the walls

Eat, get laid

Back in the good old days



Then some damn fool invents the wheel

Listen to the whitewalls squeal

You spend all day looking for a parking spot

Nothing for the heart

Nothing for the pot



Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

Oh, how he wanted to talk to the people

He wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow

Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk

Communicating like in the good old days

Forgive me father for I have sinned






It was either me or him

And a voice said, ["BennyYou fucked the whole thing upBenny your time is upYour time is up."]



Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

[Welsh Policeman:] "Mobile One Two to Central."

For I have sinned

[Welsh Policeman:] "We have a multiple on the A465

between Cwmbran and Cylgoch."

[Welsh Policeman:] "Ambulance, over."

I never meant to drop the concrete block

[Welsh Policeman:] "Roger central, over and out."



Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

He wanted to talk to the people

He wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow

Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk

Just like in the good old days

The good old days



[Radio announcer:] "Do you really think Iranian terrorists

Would have taken Americans hostage

If Ronald Reagan were president?

Do you really think the Russians

Would have invaded Afghanistan

If Ronald Reagan were president?

Do you really think third-rate military

Dictators would laugh at America

And burn our flag in contempt

If Ronald Reagan were president?"

[Concerned Citizen:] "Well, it might work!"

[Hostage:] "We as a group do most importantly

Want to beseech President Reagan

And our fellow Americans

To refrain from any form of military

Or violent means as an attempt

No matter how noble or heroic

To secure our freedom."

[Concerned Citizen:] "Sure!

Only it's going to be mighty dangerous

For you, Cassidy

Hoppy's faithful sidekick

Guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy, mister.

Adventure's his bread

Excitement's his butter

And danger

Why to him that's like

Strawberry jam to top it off."

[Jim:] "This is some live rock and roll at KAOS

Where rock and roll comes out of chaos

And a song called..."
