All Things Considered Lyrics

There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died He also claims he trained A kid name Cassius Clay And cost Goldwater the election On election day If he was still with us today Then he would introduce Us to his closest friend The one and only Lenny Bruce The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. We knew it's true He's short a few Check out the deck, it's light Said he wrote the entire soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night On Peyton Place, played second base He says but he regrets The stadium was Shea, the team, the New York Mets The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered he's not bitter, He's not mean, no he's not done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered he's not bitter, He's not mean, no he's not done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song
