Great Hosannas Songtext

von Joe Pug

Aspirations
Flat refusals
Childhood bedroom's
Disaproval.
Would-be authors
Estwhile singers
Costume jewelry
Ballpark figures
Naked power
Base excitement
True love's call gone
Unrequited.

Great Hosannas
Sunday Christians
Broken Spanish
Post card missions
Paid compassion
Sponsored mercy
We knew myriad
It's soul searching

Wishful thinking
Best intentions
Friendships based on
Chain link fences.

Silent partners
Business ventures
Closet smokers
Payday lenders
Rolex watches
Walk-in closets
Floodlights trained on
Open faucets.

Great hosannas
Grin and bear it
What toothless men stand to inherit.
