Lyrics

CRY UNCLE
words and music by Chris Kowanko

Apologies expected and it's time I think
to publicly denounce acting like a dink
Take this opportunity to come up clean
You'll be glad to know it's recommended by our shrink

if I make someone tremble
the faintest crack in their wall
I will make the hills rumble
I will make the town CRY UNCLE

Daddy's dead, so you said, in the ground
but inside my head you see he won't stay down
He won't keep quiet
can't sleep calm
gonna start a little fire downtown

I will make this town trample
spraypaint murder on your wall
I will make the hills rumble
I will make the town CRY UNCLE

It makes sense I guess to put the fishpond here
Isn't this where father had his roses?
let's have a picnic by the poolside, dear
we won't forget to plug our noses...
what's the matter?
with all your power
afraid of a flower?
you will make the town CRY UNCLE

'cause you can't have one without the other
can't take a life and not make a stain
you can't have one without the other...UNCLE

Daddy's dead roses growing in my brain
staying alive is so much pain
stole his wife
took his life
killed your own brother
now you sleep with my mother
you will make the town CRY UNCLE

I will make this town trample
spraypaint murder on your door
I will make someone humble
I will make you CRY UNCLE
