"The State I'm In" Aka "Goode Buy From Cobbs Creek Park" - Karate

Capsize, tired eyes

Collapse into clean sheets, Martinized

By bored friends' mothers who feed to release

Their trust in kids and adult defeats

Home fries ain’t no surprise

Been about 17 since I realized

No dashboard’s gonna stop this chin

If I take the wheel in the state I’m in

So one cheese steak and a Tastykake

Before I stop by Sears, get them to fix my breaks

All that Mopar, cement, snow, and rebar

And I just don’t know how the roads are

No ballgame on a snow day

But you’re gonna see something crazy anyway:

Budd Dwyer’s .357, the press

And another 10 ways to increase your debt

Hey, hey, what are you gonna do

When the credit card people start looking for you?

Blame it on the Governor, say, «I'm from PA

Please bill me at a later date

And you can send it to me in Pennsylvania»

Recalls and Armor All

I swear I can see Mumia straight from the Mall

Because the Camp Hill Prison doesn’t hide its prize

And down in Philly a whole block’s on fire

Guess they’re trying to get rid of them all

Turned on the TV, can’t believe what I saw:

PBS, Zapatistas, the FARC?

No, it’s 6200, Cobbs Creek Park!

Hey, hey, what are you gonna do

When the credit card people start looking for you?

Blame it on the Governor, say, «I'm from PA

Won’t you please bill me at a later date?

You can send it to me in Pennsylvania»
