Great Hosannas Lyrics

Aspirations, flat refusals
Childhood bedrooms, disapproval
Would be authors, erstwhile singers
Costume jewelry, ballpark figures
Naked power, basic sidekick
True love's call gone unrequitedGreat hosannas, Sunday Christians
Broken Spanish, postcard missions
Payed compassion, sponsored mercy
Remunerated soul searching
Wishful thinking, best intentions
Friendships based on chain-link fencesSilent partners, business ventures
Closet smokers, payday lenders
Rolex watches, walk-in closets
Floodlights drained on open faucets
Great hosannahs, grinning Barrick
What ruthless men stand to inherit
