Little Paper Airplanes

from Christmas In March by The Sursiks

/

lyrics

“Joe, do me a favor. Give us all a break. Can it a while, huh?
Here’s a quarter. Go play the jukebox, ok?”
“What’s a matta Joe, you got all those opinions and you can’t pick a record?”

“Look at this shit music!”

You hear that?
You know what that is?
That’s a fucking tuba!

The biggest brass instrument is the tuba.
(that’s a fucking tuba!)
It has over nine meters of tubing in it.
(Hear that? That’s a tuba! That’s a fucking tuba!)
The tuba!
With such a long column of air, the tuba can play notes that are very low.

Here’s a quarter, go play the fucking tuba!
Bang, bang bang!

Now you see those buildings, Joe?
I work in one of them.
Beautiful monuments of concrete and glass. (pissin’ on America, fuckin’ up the music!)
If you wanna really show how important you are, (they even fucked up the music!)
you make little paper airplanes,
and you sail them right up somebody else’s ass.

Now you see those buildings, Joe? (Give me control of a nation’s money supply)
I work in one of them. (and I care not who makes it’s laws)
Beautiful monuments of concrete and glass. (So what’s happening in America is that the corporations have taken over)
If you wanna really show how important you are, (and the largest corporation of all)
you make little paper airplanes (is the Federal Reserve System.)
and you sail them right up somebody else’s ass. (There probably is no gold in Fort Knox.)
Bang!

Now you see those buildings, Joe? (With the cooperation of the congress and the government)
I work in one of them. (the bankers have swindled the American people)
Beautiful monuments of concrete and glass. (by taking all our wealth, the gold)
If you wanna really show how important you are, (and giving us a piece of paper)
you make little paper airplanes, (that ultimately has no value)
and you sail them right up somebody else’s ass.
Bang, bang, bang!

I know you hadn’t got the money but we’re not gonna concern ourselves with what we hadn’t got!

And they brought the income tax into being then,
so the interest to these bankers could be paid.

But Robin Hood and his men declined the king’s offer.
They preferred to remain in Sherwood Forest, (you know what they do in those buildings Joe?)
living their adventurous lives, (They move paper.)
taking from the poor! (They pass it all around their offices!)
(King John has declared me an outlaw, and an outlaw I will be!)

That’s right. They pick it up in one place, (taking from the poor!)
and they move it (taking from the poor!)
to another place.

It’s because of this ability of the Federal Reserve to print money out of thin air or to make digits out of thin air, and they call it money, that gives them power to control the government. ‘Cause whoever makes the money makes the rules. (Money’s just a tool.)

Look at this shit music!
Here’s a quarter. Go play the jukebox, ok?
