Oh consensus, publicists and your mother
The explorers got it wrong,
there ain't nothing to discover
You can show me the door but I ain't leaving
I got new age tricks just beyond conceiving
Everybody's got a past,
you wanna share it like a present
Don't think you're in a caste,
but you're nothing but a peasant
No pointless digressions
No deathbed confessions
Just new age tricks and old time obsessions
Lizzy'd seen a lot,
but she didn't know what she was in for
'Cuz the last rodeo didn't go like all the others before
And she wished that she would disappear
And she wished that she would go
There were certain new age tricks even she didn't know
So defenseless in the arms of a new mistress
He could scarcely make the gesture,
he could hardly protect the witness
Say he went crazy or absent without leave
Or pulled some new age trick he had hidden in his sleeve
No one even asked so why are you testifying?
No one's hiring, so why are you even applying?
Had to go all the way downtown just to bail you out
Those new age tricks couldn't even save you now
