Clarence Spoke in Court Today
(Pearl Jam)
At home
Watching pictures
Of crotch shots
With him on top
Legs raised in a V
Kicking away the ladder of opportunity
The Yalie's gave too much attention
To the fact he was Affirmative Action
King Clarence the wicked
Ruled his world
Clarence spoke in court today
Clarence spoke in court today
Clearly I remember
Mocking his accent
Seemed a mindless twit
But we unleashed a lion
Clenched his fists
As he blamed Thurgood for his standing
How could I forget
He was against voting rights
My jaw dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard
He showed he was more right
Than his white classmates
He would have more wealth and might
King Clarence had no legacy
But he ruled his world
Clarence spoke in court today
Clarence spoke in court today
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this...
From the courtroom
Chicken every pot
Surviving the Autopsy
"Half-Breed Chief"
There was once a leader of a great nation
In the face of obstruction and dire tribulation
A blight had befallen the land and growing darker
The burden and challenge of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker
Comancheria was enduring destruction of its herds of buffalo and horses
A losing war of attrition with incompassionate enemy forces
A plan to despoil their land, starving the Comanche without relief
This falling squarely on the shoulders of a half-breed Indian Chief
Quanah, the leader of this Indian band
The son of Peta Nocona and captured Cynthia Ann
Yes, Cynthia was taken from her family of thieves and demons
To be adopted by a tribe of human beings
Cynthia was rescued by searchers at the Pease River fork
She had forgotten her mother tongue, and died of a broken heart
Forbidden to return to a life deemed inferior
While son Quanah was learning the ways of the warrior
In visions of the future, and witnessing first hand
Quanah knew what was in store for his Indian band
This fiercest warrior chose to make his final stand
Nurturing assimilation into a civilization on Indian land
With a foothold in both white and Indian society
Proved an able ambassador to each, with impeccable propriety
Demonstrating the Indians to be men of peace and integrity
Contrasting the white man's history of contempt and zealotry
What lessons can we draw from the life of this man?
Who stood for peace and understanding while being overran
Perhaps not the amount of paint on the warrior's face
But the capacity of the heart to be the master race
the steely-white gray titmouse who is tufted on his head
with a mighty will of courage landed on my feather bed
and unbroken skitter-scanter
backed with little bitter banter
from my counterpane he in confusion fled.habitatpelagicidiopathic
