Tom Flannery Dave Brubeck
What do you expect of me?who do you want me to be?
what do you want me to play?
what do you want me to say?
what do you want me to think?
what do you want me to drink?
what do you want me to write?
when do you want me to fight?
you better hope that when I check
I don't find old Dave Brubeck
if I do things are gonna change
What do you want me to take?
who do you want me to make?
how do you want me to vote?
what do you want me to smoke?
what do you want me to wear?
on what do you want me to swear?
what do you hope I'll do
when I come looking for you
you better hope that when I check
I don't find old Dave Brubeck
if I do things are gonna change
gonna make my own time
study yours and take what's mine
cover of Time magazine
critics all sight unseen
funny glasses on his head
only his wife in his bed
no dope running through his veins
no time for the inane
Where do you want me to go?
should I drive fast or slow?
how old will you let me get
at the point of a bayonet
when do you want me to lie?
when do you wish me to die?
should I climb any wall
or hide in a bathroom stall
you better hope that when I check
I don't find old Dave Brubeck
if I do things are gonna change
