Where do you find these things? Laff riot! By the time it got to the typewriter scene, I was, in fact, lulzing my arse off. Is this some sort of message that at this point, we might as well pass the cookie jar? Proximate cause and all.
The whole Cookie Monster/Away On Business thing gave me an idea for Halloween. If I make a suit of blue fur, then give myself a beard, a bad combover and black frame glasses, can I go as Grover Norquist?
There’s a leak, there’s a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
brilliant. although that opening line, “i’ll sell your heart to the junkman baby, for a buck” is a tattoo waiting to happen.
Song for our Kleptocracy–
God’s Away on Business
I’d sell your heart to the junkman, baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you’re looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You’re out of luck, you’re out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There’s a leak, there’s a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It’s a job, it’s a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It’s all over, it’s all over
It’s all over
There’s a leak, there’s a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
God’s away, God’s away on business, business
Goddamn, there’s always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There’s always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It’s a deal, it’s a deal
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot, baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
God’s away, God’s away
God’s away on business, business
