Move It Along

Move It Along

The pavement is pounding
Like a heart attack
Bodies on the sidewalk
Like they’re potted plants
Comfortable slaves
Don’t tend to second guess
We keep our eyes away
From this peripheral mess
“There’s nothing here to see”

Panic in each crevice
Just some errant dust
Don’t question your depression
Find a pill to trust
Chemicals coursing
Through polluted veins
Just the price of doing business
In the modern age
“There’s nothing here to see”

“Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
You got some place else you should be
Move it along, folks
There’s nothing here to see”

Robin Hood is drunk
Passed out on the ground
Superman’s cape
Is in the lost and found
Decency determined
By a poison pen
As a Crack Baby Jesus
Dies for our sins
“There’s nothing here to see”

“Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
You got some place else you should be
Move it along, folks
There’s nothing here to see
There’s nothing here to see…

Alleyways alive
With the living dead
Escaped convict thoughts
Better left unsaid
As the skeletal remains
Of our empathy
Burns in our conscience
Like an effigy
“There’s nothing here to see
There’s nothing here to see…

“So, please avert your eyes
Those Chicken Littles tell such lies
Go back to work, it’s all alright
Relax and watch TV tonight
Cause there’s nothing here to see”

“Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
Move it along
Move it along, folks
You got some place else you should be
Move it along, folks
There’s nothing here to see
There’s nothing here to see
There ain’t nothing…”
