lyrics

SOLZHENITSYN ROCKS

Joanie was late as she walked into schoo
l
They all said, “Look!
There goes an unbroken rule.”

All that I’m trying to do

Is carry your books home from school

They’re going to toast you someday
They’re going to roast you someday
They’re going to try and try

To turn your mind around
But it makes no difference

They’re going to toast you someday
They’re going to roast you someday

Solzhenitsyn Rocks!

Like that Polish vodka that I want to try out
I want to try it out

What’s it all about?

Can you help me out?

(Give me a minute... I’ll get the energy up)
Solzhenitsyn Rocks!

Like that Polish vodka that I want to try out
I want to drag it out

Like a shoe in a gopher hole

Like the goalie at the penalty score

I’m going to pretend that‘s it’s snowing today

He stood outside of the wastelands

And what do you suddenly know?

All of his life he’d be covered in snow
Now where in the hell can a poor boy go
When Solzhenitsyn Rocks?

Matthew was a unique visionary—as sensitive, uncompromising, funny, and fearless in his art as he was in his life. Of his music, Matthew wrote: “Here lay psychological metal, verbose pop, queasy balladry, and odd trips.” ... more
