Lyrics

73

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If Barry bonds is really taking something

To hit make him hit more homers than before

They gotta throw him out of the game, sir

They gotta throw him out the door

Then burn the porn films with all the girls with implants

Burn the poetry by men who took lithium as boys

Your erection compliments of Levitra

Is hereby rendered null and soft and void

Then rip the contact lenses from your eyes, sir

You're not really supposed to see naturally that well

No more flu shots or antibiotics

You're supposed to still be sick my friend

In the future they say we're gonna live

180 years, or 200

And you know they'll be some jerk going around pointing

Saying you're supposed to be dead, supposed to be dead

Disgrace by hint and suspicion

It's point and cast a cloud of instant shame

And the president stamps the witch hunt with approval

And McCarthy gets sent back into the game

I'd like to now make a statement

I'd like to make a statement now

For a three-year period I was taking steroids

And my songs for that time are now in doubt

I apologize to my family

I apologize to you, the fans

I apologize to the very craft of songwriting

I'll take my punishment with all the grace I can

God Said No and Black Tornado, throw 'em out

I wrote them while the juice was in my veins

Everything I've sung since Fuck the Monkey

Go ahead and throw it down the drain

Imagine a world where everyone's taking something

Imagine such a world then just for fun

Imagine the president's taking smart pills

That'd be even better than 73 home runs

Disgrace by hint and suspicion

It's point and cast a cloud of instant shame

And the president stamps the witch hunt with approval

And McCarthy gets sent back into the game

73

73

73 home runs
