Future Seal

                  Richards/Augie March
 

Mother Duck waddles out to the edge
Of Father Duck's house
Shakes her feathers in Harry Duck's face
Harry Duck gets pissed
Shakes his little feathered fist
Father Duck has a qualm about entering the fray

It's not solely a duck thing
But entirely a fuck thing
The animals and Indians are knocking at your door
When Helen of Troy
Gets her hands on your boy
Before you know she's a siren
For a nuclear war

I get so tired of saying
There's a life here baby
hit me with it (?), at least there's
no death here either

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the park
You can hear the possums screaming
As the dogs begin to bark

It's the ... like the silver wolverine
Pissing on the faces of the social, it seems (?)
More police per parking lot
In any other country
Marvel at the bloodshed
Cos the dogs are hungry

And the corporal(?) says I want the detail
I want every idea that comes from the heart
Now, that's a good start, yeah that's a good start
Stake a claim to the center of the state
Put out eternal

Walking on down to the old casino
Thinking we should maybe build a new casino
Dressed to the nineties in my gold merino cloak
Everything's alright
Tonight, yeah that's right
That's right

All the college boys and girls
Pretending to be solid boys and girls
Pretending everything is solid in the world
No it isn't, and you will find out soon
That every song you were dashing to
Was never your tune.

As you wait by the door for your ...
To slam her in the back of your graduation cabriolet
With a Young Liberal sticker on the windshield
Slam another cherry 'neath the flag of your future seal

As they wait by the door for your ...
To chuck her into the back of your graduation cabriolet
With a Young Liberal sticker on the windshield
Slam another cherry 'neath the flag of your future seal

All the college boys and girls
Pretending to be solid boys and girls
Pretending everything is solid in the world
No it isn't, and you will find out soon
That every song you were moshing to
Was never your tune

As you wait by the door for your ...
To slam her into the back of your graduation cabriolet
With a Young Liberal sticker on the windshield
Pop another cherry 'neath the flag of your future seal
'neath the flag of your future seal

<spoken verse>
I declare before your sight
Men will only cry at night
Women giving birth to fault
Caesar makes a sum assault
... Jesus Mary fucker
Someone call the undertaker
This is how it's gonna be
Under the future seal
Underneath the future seal

This is how it's gonna be
Underneath the future seal

Is it alright?
This is how it's gonna be.
