Original musical composition by Vin Allen for Dry Dog
lyrics
I told her I could find a way
To make the warring armies play
And into every mouth that needs
A morsel so that they could feed
I told her I could flip her lid
She said "Why don't you" - so I did.
I told her I could be the one
To stay with her till kingdom come
Move around her like a gentle breeze
That blows between the mountains and the seas
I told her I would talk to the kids
She said "Why don't you" - so I did.
I told her I'm not happy here
That everything was too austere
The hunger and the cupboard bare
The nervous frightened sense of fear
I told her I would leave but still
She said "Why don't you”, “Why don’t you”
A new fable every day (repeat)
