Crow - Dan Bern

All these questions start to stick to me like cancer 
You talk and talk but I don't think I gotta answer 
If that's what's meant by confirmation 
I don't even want the nomination
Piss on it, piss on it 
Throw it in the trash and kiss it 

I will not eat crow for you or anyone else 
I will not, I will patently not
Maybe someone else will crawl for you 
Dress like a Barbie Doll for you 
There's things I'm willing to chew on 
But your crow is not one of them 

I spent the last ten years trying to make your secretary happy with my style 
And now that I've seen your trophies 
Excuse me if I laugh a while 
If that's the reward for suffering
Keep the stuff you're offering 
Piss on it, piss on it
Throw it in the trash and kiss it 

I will not eat crow for you or anyone else
I will not, I will patently not 
Maybe someone else will be your rug 
Jump in the six-foot hole you dug 
There's things I'm willing to chew on
But your crow is not one of them 

Take your turn, take your place 
Take a walk out on my face 
Try again, you can try to dance 
But you'll never get the chance 

'Cause I will not eat crow for you or anyone else 
I will not, I will patently not
Maybe someone else will hurt for you 
Squirt their blood in the dirt for you 
There's things I'm willing to chew on 
But your crow is not one of them
