East Of Reno - My Dad (Had No Middle Name) Lyrics



East Of Reno - My Dad (Had No Middle Name) Lyrics




I am the man who stocks
The motorway amenities
The chewable toothbrush
And other less impressive
Feats of ingenuity
Where once battles
Took place spilling blood for ideals
I drive a honda civic
Responsibly on four wheels
And negotiate the terms
Of an eighteen month lease
To eradicate the germs
That could lead to gum disease

My dad had no middle name
I never thought it was strange
Till I had to fill in a form
Asking where I was born
Asking my dad's middle name
By a security question

Spend your life on the chopping board
You will get cut!
Spend your life on the chopping board
You will get cut!
The gene-pool lottery means
I get to wave this flag
And be proud of a country
That took what other people had
But the best thing about my identity
Is basing understanding
On selective memory

I got a strong case
But we both know full well
I'll never sound as compelling
As the voice of peter gabriel
Welcome to the land
Where it's not your fault
From a profession making
An easy life look difficult
I got a handle on my s-situation
And in my state the real world
Is not what I should facing

I dreamt I went to bed a european
And awoke on an island
That nobody could agree on
You say it's good for you
I say get that sh*t away from me
Living long enough
Will get you killed, you'll see
