lyrics

he was a trash man / he kept his motor clean / he smoked a big cigar / and ran a magazine / he was a labor mediator for the ladies in the factory / he was a half-breed / that’s all he ever heard / he thought a lot about the way he came to hate the word / he tried to write an angry letter but instead he wrote an elegy / and we don’t care about his money / and we never cared much for his friends / we just tried to find some help is all / we placed a call / he was a big deal / at the record store / but everybody thought he should have been an orator / and all the kids were having heart attacks / trying to get his autograph / he was a maven / and an ingénue / he made a secret tape recording at the barbeque / but when we tried to get ahold of it / he was just so out of it
