MC Paul Barman - Anarchist Bookstore, Part 1 Lyrics

Is my distance from the mic proper

There's a college town
With olive green all around
Professors and skate punks rock SG
Paul's Wall Of Sound
And there's an anarchist bookstore
There's more than you'd look for
A core of local folks wait for late lifts
There's often a great drift
To the shop for the
Wednesday night five-to-eight shift
Cause the clerk at work is
The prettiest gal in town
She cries during Allentown
She's a precocious socialist and she's
Willing to pal around

Every Wednesday after French club
She rides to work
With a stuffed Mastadon in the
Basket on her bicycle
If Noam Chomsky was from the Bronx
He'd have been assassinated promptly
She said he was from the Bronx, he
Said you know what I mean, ignoramuses
Oh boy what a pain this is
Said the only paid employee, the manager
I came for culture, not accounting
And a girl put a flyer
Up above the water fountain
She carried clandestine two
Dollar mescaline in her blue collar mess tin
Plastered with stickers that said "Food
Not Bombs", "Sex Not Proms", critical Mass
That bastard, voice talent snickered
Nice graphics but that's
Just half-assed agitprop
To piss off a traffic cop aww shucks
Can it be I'm too lazy for pot lucks
If not my friends
Who am I willing to cook for
And they're chilling at
The anarchist bookstore
Will Barnes and Noble harm the global?
Will Amazon Com be round
When grandma's gone mom?

Voice talent, the rapper
Had a rapport with a stripper whore
Who he'd vote for long before
He'd vote for Tipper Gore
He re-equipped the store with the new credit
Machines and put zines in their places
He said take back the streets
Is more like take back
Four parking spaces at the most and
Left to hose the Sunday showcases
He was all dressed in tinsel yo
But he couldn't convince his friends to go
They were like, voice talent
You put on a minstrel show
He said someone's psychotic
Someone took too much semiotics
Furthermore, he thought
Someone can tzi-suck my tza-dick
But VT was the opposite of TV
He'd never accuse someone of being PC
Because it's so friggin' dumb to say
The term arose on the Columbus Day
Quincentennary when the republic was
Honest about the conquest
And wouldn't party as they
Had previously promised
If someone uses a non-offensive vocabulary
Then that person is considerate, not PC
If someone has a heavy handed
Agenda, that person is narrow-minded, not PC
Unless you mean Providence College
PC is as meaningless as the
President's apology for slavery
Maybe PE should be on the radio
And not just in the
African-American Norton Anthology

Will Barnes and Noble harm the global?
Will Amazon Com be round
When grandma's gone mom?
Will Barnes and Noble harm the global?
Will Amazon Com be round
When grandma's gone mom?

Who cooks for you? who cooks for you?
Who cooks for you all?
