Something Better from Theatres by Nicholas St. James

Uncle Charlie holds a gun in his hand
Studying rotation at the bank
Granny lost her baby boy
He's been missing, with no reward to claim

I heard the stories when I was just a kid
Uncle C was the bagman of the state
His problems all came with a bottle of blame
He sees twelve colors, but you know there's only eight

Jesus Christ, died on a Tuesday
Lee Harvey shot from a windowpane
We all want something better
And bigger to blame

Uncle Charlie kept his dogs in the yard
Fearing one day they'd bite him back
They gave his job to a Mexican man
Don't you think he ever forgot that

Jesus Christ, died on a Tuesday
Lee Harvey shot from a windowpane
We all want something better
And bigger to blame

He was cursed from the start
A voodoo doll full of pins
Everything is free when it gets dark
At least it was, according to him

Jesus Christ, died on a Tuesday
Lee Harvey shot from a windowpane
We all want something better
And bigger to blame
