Hollowed Log

[Verse 1]
It's hard not to wonder while we think all day
Robbing Paul to keep on paying Peter
How many bad apples does it take to spoil a bunch
Where's Mother Hubbard when you need her
One pig, two pig, three pig, four, this piggy went to the market
Bright red patch on his left hind quart looked a little bit like a target

[Chorus]
Whee, whee, whee on the whole ride home, I knew while
We were out I should have fed him and Old King Cole sitting
High on his throne, in each of our own ways I think we let him
It's hard not to budge and to ponder all day, so many eggs in just one basket
Sourdough brain in a loaf of bread way, so many questions you could ask it

[Verse 2]
When all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't fix the shatter of the shell, Jack fell again well of course he did
They sent him home with a note that said get well
You've heard the one about the popcorn and the peanuts who truly believed that they could fly
Or that one where a milkshake's split by using two straws and a gal and a guy

[Chorus]
Whee, whee, whee on the whole ride home, I knew while
We were out I should have fed him and Old King Cole sitting
High on his throne, in both of our own ways I think we let him
It's hard not to budge and to ponder all day, so many eggs in just one basket
Sourdough brain in a loaf of bread way, so many questions you could ask it

[Verse 3]
Sleeping inside a hollowed log, wild and raw and tameless
I don't give an F, who knows, now, who likes being blameless
Spat out fast and shat at last, a temporary blade of grass
All the while behind the glass, the hostages get famous
