Satellite Iwo Jima
I surf to a movie with John Wayne (x3)
satellite Iwo Jima
I just got home from my lousy job (x3)
screw my cubicle
screw it
gonna quit my job and be a songwriter (x3)
tora tora Warren Zevon
gonna drink ten beers and then I will crash (x3)
like a Zero into the ocean
hey, hey

Hold On, It Gets Better
Preacher Joe is ATM-ing / grabbing traveling dough
Sue called him at four A.M. / “I’m carrying your baby, Joe”
very inconvenient / Sue’s married to Mean Dean
Dean has a pirate eye-patch / owns more guns than the Marines
hold on, it gets better
five Supreme Court peanut eaters / stroll out of a bar
they hi-jack a nearby election / drive it off like a stolen car
they take a right-turn joyride / get stuck on some railroad tracks
freight train barreling down the hill / welcome to Iraq
hold on, it gets better
Preacher Joe changes a flat / whoops, it’s a tornado!
Mean Dean owns two big piranhas / aquarium talk radio
Sue looks out a window / as Preacher Joe flies by
Dean serves his fish the neighbor’s cat / who’s name was Garfield
hold on, it gets better
meow

My Sister’s Pinto
my sister’s Pinto was yellow in color / like a lemon, like a submarine
she drove it through the car-wash every Saturday/ had to keep that Pinto clean
(chorus) my sister’s Pinto, my sister’s Pinto / look at her go, whew Lord, whew Lord
my sister’s Pinto, my sister’s Pinto / that baby was made by Ford
now my sister’s Pinto had three on the floor / it was a lot of fun to drive
buzzer told her to strap in / they had to keep my sister alive
(chorus)
now my sister’s Pinto was almost paid for / things began to go wrong
engine started pinging and the gas tank blew up / radio quit during a Johnny Prine song
(chorus)

Workin’ for the O’l U.P.
up near Castle Rock in midnight rain / an engineer yawns on a slow freight train
he says “it’s just about like workin’ days” / I light up a smoke and sit in the haze
(chorus) hey Ma, still workin’ for the ol’ U.P. / hey Pa, they’ve been pretty good to me
hey wife, I’ll be home eventually / baby baby, I’m workin’ for the ol’ U.P.
we ain’t bound for glory or any crusade / just a motel hallway, morning maids
up near Castle Rock, hey, listen, listen / to the bones of deer in the headlights glisten
(chorus)
up near Castle Rock in midnight rain / an engineer smiles on a slow freight train
he says “it’s just about like workin’ days” / I light up a smoke and sit in the haze
(chorus)
