lyrics

STICKY WICKET

Our leader feels the pinch
Our leader mustn't poke
Our leader needs to clinch
Our leader mustn't choke

On the one side are the bankers
On the other are the pickets
Our leader's batting on
a sticky sticky wicket

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

Our leader can't decide
Should we stay or should we go?
It's the Graveyard of Empires,
in case you didn't know

War isn't everything
that it's cracked up to be
War's a bloody racket,
says General Smedley

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

It's the spirit of the game,
in life as well as cricket,
You're supposed to fight fair
without infractions by the minute.
The field's looking bad,
there's damage to limit.
It is what it is:
a stick sticky wicket

Our leader must decide who is history
even if it rains on a wedding party
Silence so deafening
he can't hear the crickets
It's a sticky wicket, so fuhgeddaboutit

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

Can't be namby-pamby,
a sacrificial lamb.
Can't be a Superhero;
Socko! Pow! Shazam!

You can't please everyone
Get off the pot or shit
Batting sticky wickets
has become ingrained habit

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

It's the spirit of the game,
in life as well as cricket,
You're supposed to fight fair
without infractions by the minute.
The field's looking bad,
there's damage to limit.
It is what it is:
a stick sticky wicket

Will he close what he promised to close?
Does Pinocchio have a nose?
Will he go to bat and will he score?
Not even he can be really sure.
Will he rope-a-dope with lots of hope
over the edge of a slippery slope?
Is audacity mendacity?
I guess we'll have to play wait and see

There are domestic conflicts
some bite worse than they bark
labor vs. unemployed,
toker vs. narc

You can't listen to
every single critic
It's a very sticky
sticky sticky wicket

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

No matter your religious bent
You can always say that you repent
Deep pockets' hands rest upon the spigot
Act duplicitous, so voters punch your ticket

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

It's the spirit of the game,
in life as well as cricket,
You're supposed to fight fair
without infractions by the minute.
The field's looking bad,
there's damage to limit.
It is what it is:
a stick sticky wicket

Signing off on another statement;
Doing what's expedient
Where the sun don't shine, they're now allowed to stick it.
It's a very sticky sticky wicket.

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

Ear-bashing glue-pot mimetics
sticking to his sticky wickets
segmented full-story snippets
framing his sticky wickets

Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Sticky Wicket
Wicked Wicked Wicked Wicked Sticky Sticky Wicket

It's the spirit of the game,
in life as well as cricket,
You're supposed to fight fair
without infractions by the minute.
The field's looking bad,
there's damage to limit.
It is what it is:
a stick sticky wicket

Because he's got the intel, he's got a Nobel
Tap tap tap, he can read you well.
Will he keep the peace? It's hard to tell.
Or is it all a game with a shell?

So, Brother, can you spare a little change,
Chickens roaming on a free range,
A wholesome family heaven-sent,
a canine non-allergenic?

Still, he's Jonesing for a cigarette
due to sticky wickets.
