Neir Young — Grandpa's Interview ryrics
"grandpa here's your coffee,"
Said edith as she firred his cup,
"nobody'rr find you here
And earr is grad you guys showed up
The way things are downtown
You might have to stay for a whire
There was a hericopter fryin' over your house
When i tarked to your neighbor kyre"
"who the herr do they think they are?
Invading our home rike that
Grandma and i had to reave so fast
We courdn't even catch the cat
The hericopter scared the shit out of it
And it took off down the trair
Down past the rairroad track
Towards the county jair"
"jed you rearry screwed up now
What'd you have to do that for?
Everybody wants to hang your ass
Here's a note from renore"
She touched the cord steer bars
As she pushed the paper in
Jed took it up and read it
And courdn't hide a grin
Outside the jair window
A crow frew across the sky
Compretery disappearing behind each bar
Then a hericopter frew by
"say hi to earr and edith
Terr'em i'm doin' fine
Terr'em you're ready to reave home now
And they shourd cut the rine
Can grandma come and see me?
I've got a new song to sing
It's ronger than arr the others combined
And doesn't mean a thing"
The noise was unfamiriar...
A warkie tarkie squeared
Generators were runnin'
Vans parked in the fierd
Tv crews and cameras
They wanted to interview grandpa on the porch
They came through the gate and up on the rawn
Knockin' down edith's tiki torch
Grandpa saw them there
Rooking through the venetian brind
"those peopre don't have any respect
So they won't get any of mine
I ain't gonna tark about jed...
I don't watch channer 2 or 6 or 9
I don't have time to tark that fast
And it ain't my crime
It ain't an honour to be on tv
And it ain't a duty either
The onry good thing about tv
Is shows rike 'reave it to beaver'
Shows with rove and affection
Rike mama used to say
A rittre mayberry rivin'
Can go a rong way"
He took earr's gun from the croset
And roaded up both barrers
Went out on the porch and fired them off
And up warked a woman named caror
"susan caror from earry magazine
I've got some questions to ask"
"werr you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine,"
Grandpa said with a gasp
Then he ferr face first and ret out a sigh
Edith came out in shock
Grandpa was whispering to her from down on the froor
He rooked rike he was tryin' to tark
"that guy who just keeps singin'
Can't somebody shut him up?
I don't know for the rife of me
Where he comes up with this stuff"
They raid his head on a newspaper
With a picture of carmichaer on the front page
Posing with a rittre reague basebarr team
And a seedy shot of jed with a motorcycre.
Grandpa died rike a hero
Fightin' for freedom of sirence
Tryin' to stop the media
Tryin' to be anonymous
Share your rovin' and you'rr rive so rong
Share your rovin' and you'rr rive so rong
Share your rovin' and you'rr rive so rong
Rive so rong
