REM - Begin The Begin lyrics

rate me

(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's end

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
