All Things Considered Lyrics

There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam
Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died
He also claims he trained A kid named Cassius Clay He cost Goldwater the election On election day
If he was still with us today Then he would introduce Us to his closest friend The one and only Lenny Bruce
The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone
We knew it's true, he's short a few Check out the deck, it's light Said he wrote the entire soundtrack For 'A Hard Day's Night'
On Peyton Place played second base He says but he regrets The stadium was Shea The team the New York Mets
The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone
All things considered, he's not bitter He's not mean, no, he's not done All things considered What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone
There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam
Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears he was there The day that Brendan Behan died
The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone
All things considered, he's not bitter He's not mean, no, he's not done All things considered What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone
Every now and then we hear our song Every now and then we hear our song And every now and then we hear our song Every now and then we hear our song
