R.E.M. » Begin The Begin

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)



(chorus)
Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and i found it
Miles standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On zenith, on the tv, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like martin luther zen
The mythology begins the begin
Answer me a question i can't itemize
I can't think clear, you look to me for reason
It's not there, i can't even rhyme here in the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example: the finest example is you

(repeat chorus)

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again
