Jon Brooks - Laws Of The Universe

Her mom left a prairie town call Teulon
Lotsa Ukrainians there, not much of a view
All her life she fit right in with self pity
They say she even willed her own blindness, too
And the light had expired like a failed revolt
It wasn't Rome burning it quietly fell through
One day she and her seeing eye dog, Ranger, just went back to Teulon
Said she was 'ready for the view'

9 drunken dads out of 11
Raise well organized, argumentative women
He spent the 70's getting rich serving no greater good
Yeah, they still pay you well to shut up, don't they
He drank Bud Lite and he came from a town called Dildo
There is a town called 'Dildo' it's in Newfoundland
He'd spend his weekends on the yacht with other laughless women
He'd say, 'there's 2 of them, for every laughless man'

And no one, no one, no one has ever saved anyone
And trying to just makes it worse
And no one will ever save anyone
Law of the Universe

We were younger than democracy, older than the corporate state
And we moved in the day Reagan died
O, but pity and love they can't relate
But against the universal law I tried
And her old man from Dildo didn't really 'drown drunk'
He had some help after a last Bud Lite or two
And her blind mom didn't just 'go back to Teulon'
Even though she was ready for the view
No, no one goes to Teulon for the view

And no one has ever saved anyone

And these are not 'economic hard times'
These are not 'economic hard times'
These are the days, after the days, after the days, after the days
When we were robbed
