Paroles
Marion, born december 5th, a sagittarius Mother & father, 2 little sisters, all were immigrants America was waiting for you America was waiting for you Marion’s fam’ly saw his humor as absurdity Nevertheless, he joined the local university & studied for a third of his life He studied for a third of his life & passed the bar He was a lawyer Working for free & was fervid in speech All of the workers That he’d protect Say he practiced what he preached Hated the mayor, so he petitionеd to recall the guy For he attеmpted selling off Seattle City Light Two hundred thousand names on the form Two hundred thousand names on the form He, with the people on his side, became a congressman Winning a district often taken by republicans To Washington from Washington state To Washington from Washington state At 32 When re-elected Everyone loved him Except for his peers A coalition Set on his downfall Would form in his last years He married a woman he knew for a week cuz he couldn’t wait Took part in a riot while still on his honeymoon They took him away in a jacket to the sanitarium Declared as insane, jumped the fence of the place, & soon Returning home, announced his re-election Then called the campaign off again Almost as if becoming lesser like yourself had been an art Marion, less subdued & sober, saw the world observe him fall apart He wrote a note & left his window several stories high Landed abruptly near the car his wife was waiting by They say she changed the day that he died They say she changed the day that he died & in the note, he said his only hope in life had been That he’d improve upon the way the world was living in But people only knew him as strange The people only knew him as strange And nothing more Were you a genius Were you a fool Or in need of a cure? Was it in anger Was it in fear Or had it been in fervor? All of the quirks we used to have are now a symptom of Acronyms we don’t get to know that we’re the victims of Then people say that we’ll never change & so, of course we don’t ever change But still, we try
