Story Behind The Song

The Bitter End is a hang banging electronic industrial rock piece from longtime collaborators Stuck With Green and Evan Zappa & the Necessity. The lyrics are written from the point of view of an infant child looking up at his parents and other admirers, but with the wisdom of Solomon, commenting on the big picture of life with expertise far beyond his age! ??Listen on Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2Bwok3f

Lyrics

The Bitter End
© 2018 Stuck With Green/Evan Zappa

I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung

I think I caught the crazies
I can feel it in my bones
Everything was fine
Till they left me all alone
Now I'm spouting Mao Tse Tong
Between nursery rhymes and such
I think I caught the crazies
And I like it very much!

It's said life is a journey
It's said we're all alive
We can walk alone together
We can run but we can't hide

Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end

I think I'm getting older
By the way they look at me
There's been far less little goo goo's
They still look but they don't see
I can hear their every word
I can feel when they're around
I think I'm getting older
By the silence of their sounds

Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung

I think the road less traveled
Found a nation and a tramp
Choking thru its long list dreams
In a beggar's hopeless rant
Division had its way
In the chaos and the fumes
I think the road less traveled
May forget how to resume

Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end

Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung
Mao Tse Tung

I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies
I think I caught the crazies

Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
Be the victim, be the butcher
Be the carpenter's best friend
It's a wild and lonely journey
Till we reach the bitter end
