Knock Down Game

And it came to pass for hours
Walked around their ivory towers
Like buffalo looking for Magritte

He went to ground for days
Like Eisenhower on better pay
Tried to wash his hands, they washed his feet

His knock down ways
Couldn’t heal his pain

This is what he said to me:
“Reflect on what you want to see
‘Cause you’ll never be quite what you want to be

This is what you have to do
Walk down Pennsylvania Avenue
Flag up any trouble that you see”

Been waiting for this knock down game
To heal this pain

Been waiting for this knock down game
To heal this pain

Champions not guests
Taking selfies smoking cigarettes
All around there’s chaos and disarray

A soldier weeps, a fight unfolds
Looking for a crock of gold
Take the lot – they’ll never make us pay

Waiting for this knock down game
To heal this pain

Waiting for this knock down game
To heal this pain

I’ve been thinking all my life
What seems wrong and what seems right
Doesn’t hurt to think anyway

Each side forgets there’s no regrets
Politicians fuck suffragettes
Just couldn’t pass this chance away

Now I’m sitting on the bus
The cat in the hat spits at us
Suddenly my heart sees the shame

Walking through what I knew
Of Pennsylvania Avenue
Things have changed but everything’s the same

Waiting for that knock down game
To heal this pain

Still waiting for this knock down game
To heal this pain
