I don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe it's true.

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Whoooa. Mmmmm.

It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

What in the fuck do the teabaggers want?

I came across this rather fine description of their wants and desires.

Besides smaller government and more freedom—which are trite and meaningless aims, I think the article I found puts this all into context.

There is a lot of woe goin' on in the Gulf lately. A lot of arguments over how our government has handled the situation.

At his death, he is hard and stiff.

Green plants are supple and filled with sap.

At their death they are withered and dry.

 

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
