LEARSONG lyrics 

by Joel Sattler 

 

all I want 

is to bark the same thief 

be a brother to Lear 

and dry up his grief 

 

these are my eyes 

that do much to offend 

it may not be wise

but I chose to pretend 

 

which dog do you beggar 

have you gone mad 

are you a bootlegger 

or a bulldog gone bad  

 

all I want 

is to see with glass eyes 

look with mine ears 

for the whispered surprise 

 

 

thou rascal beagle 

hold thy bloody hand 

whip not the eagle 

do as I command 

 

 

or you are the sinner 

and you are the sin  

I don't know how 

or where to begin 

 

set you down father 

bless you this day 

if not don't you bother 

to come back this way 

 

all I want 

is one true word 

and all I get 

is a joke I once heard 

 

 

when we are born 

to this great stage of fools 

we cry in the morn 

and then go off to school 

 

and when we die 

think we fall off a cliff 

but it's all a lie 

it's only what if 

 

all I want 

all I want 

all I want 

 

I want it all
