Tear Jerk

The city children, they know how to breed
They've touched some love, but they believe in need
I said to myself, I said I... I jerk those tears I don't cry
The downtown bigots, they want to be friends
I filled their cup up until they said when
I said to myself, I said I... I jerk those tears I don't cry
I feel a fever, a generation
I am just human, I’m information
It's true. It's true
You gonna die die die and do that tear jerk
And cry cry cry and do that tear jerk
Why why why and do that tear jerk
And I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you
The progress mongers, the south paws of smoke
Full-formed veneers for us average folks
I said to myself, I said I... I jerk those tears I don’t cry
And after us the engines will search
For fashion youth, the signs and wonders in shirts
I said to myself I said I... I jerk those tears I don't cry
I feel a fever, a generation
I am just human, I’m information
You gonna die die die and do that tear jerk
And cry cry cry and do that tear jerk
And I I I do that tear jerk, its true
You gonna die die die and do that tear jerk
And cry cry cry and do that tear jerk
Why why why and do that tear jerk
And I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you
I stole these rhythms from the man who had them
He wiped his chin down with Uncle Tom's napkin
He said you choose this day whom you will serve
Take bits of grace, not just the things you will deserve
Well Jesus Christ I said you're changing your mind
You're turning water back from that wine
And it's the day the Lord has made and the year of rabbits too
I got my calendar mind and it's set on you
You gonna die die die and do that tear jerk
Why why why? and do that tear jerk
And I I I do that tear jerk, its true
You gonna die die die and do that tear jerk
Why why why? and do that tear jerk
And I I I and do that tear jerk
And I do that tear jerk, I do that tear jerk for you
I do that tear jerk. I do that tear jerk for you
