lyrics

The natural queens with their keyboard teeth
speak ardent hearted soliloquies
seeking salvation true love and recovery
Standing on the mood transformation line
with the mademoiselles and American pastimes
they all ache with the same kind of freedom

Forgotten, misled, misused and confused
dropped on a dime, stepped on by a few
looking at mirrors wishing it was someone they knew
Oh, what do they know?
Oh, what do they know?

Down the block at the vagabond bar
the wolf pack closed in on the getaway car
that was like cigarettes packed with veterans hearts
The Presidents they didn't care
the innocent brides showed their rings off
they're delirious with the same kind of freedom

Forgotten, misled, misused and confused
dropped on a dime, stepped on by a few
looking at mirrors wishing it was someone they knew
Oh, what do they know?
Oh, what do they know?

Darkness weaved around the scene
Ensuing riots and on the balcony
Lord Bacon performed Shakespeare to nobody...

Then with skinned knees under my jeans
I lost my jacket and all my money
I didn't really know why I was headed up this street
The train conductor knew I was lost
he knew somebody changed my sugar to salt
he knew I was happy with the same kind of freedom
Oh, what does he know?
Oh, what does he know?
