The State Will Take Care Of Me - Cass McCombs

You taught me alphabet and technique

You baptized me in the cool creek

I think in English through and through

And all thanks to you

I inherited your calloused skin

And when I left, I thought I’d never sin

Independent, but not necessarily

Now on, the state will take care of me

We’ll see who laughs last

A child’s smile curves up the graph

Render unto Caesar what is his

Ah, it is what it is

Now I’m a life force of my own

I can intiate another drone

Until it decides it can no longer sit

Then, the state will take care of it
