SHINOLA!

From an old song I used to dig from from Todd Rundgren & Utopia,
“Shinola”:

Sung:
I see you’re still in the headlines
You pegged the latest trend again this week
I’m not impressed by the outfit,
Or your revolutionary chic
And here it comes,
I see you forming the words, you’re performing the exercise
And here it comes,
It’s the feeling that I heard the same speech a hundred times:

Screamed:
This is the jabber of a

chimpanzee!!

The motion of your mouth

looks much the same to me!!!

The differentiation might

be hard to see,

But this is crapola!!!

(the political message of the picture, while I don’t
disagree) is incidental to what I’m talking about)

Sung, very melodically, with harmony:

This is shinola–

shinola!!!

Spoken:
Everyone’s talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there’s a message I guess this is it
Truth isn’t easy, the easy part’s shit:
