lirik lagu rich krueger - don

now’s really the time
there’s something i need to tell you
but i am not gonna tell you to believe everything i say
although i swear on my children’s heads that all of this is true
you should never ever trust anyone
who wants to entertain you

when i was 14 i made me a friend
he was 14 too, but with his beard he looked more like 42
for the sake of this song i’m gonna call him ‘don’
if its all the same to you
‘cause don was his name too

and don, well don was very strange but very very smart
he told me he knew more than anyone about wwii
that was in our school where most kids were jews
the school alumni even included
a couple of the netanyahus

well don was what we call a “contrarian”
don quoted nietzsche, and hitler, and said one day he’d join the klan
but in the ‘burbs of philadelphia there were no kleagles that we knew
besides they’d never let me in
see, don was catholic, too

and although we weren’t yet 15, we took out his daddy’s rolls
in the nicest ride i’ve ever had to this day
don drove us down broad street then shopped for clove cigarettes and throwing knives
then we took in a matinee
of a very famous noel coward play
after, douglas fairbanks, jr. met us at the stage door
don wanted to talk to him, and get his autograph
see, douglas fairbanks, jr. knew the actress greta garbo real well
and don, he had stacks and stack at home of
greta garbo movie stills

don also had stacks of the p~rno tabloid ‘screw’
and claimed his lawyer father knew al goldstein well
at 14 i thought i knew a little something about sin
but boy those rags sure opened wide
my imagination and both my eyes

but don’s real obsession, his most prized possessions
were guns he called his ‘private cache of weapons’
he even owed a carcano rifle
just like the one that oswald used
that is if you really believe anything that
the government tells us is true

why would any kid like me
who knew that all of this was wrong
would want to pal around with a guy like don?
might as well ask ‘why would bonnie parker?’ why would nathan leopold?
why would eric harris wanna hang out with dylan klebold?

one day his parents sent don to a military school
like parents like his always think they should
me, i never really tried to keep in touch
never thought i see him again
and hoped i never would
but then one day don reappeared and he beckoned me over to a car
we sat in the front seat and talked, but not that long
he wore full military dress and said he was on the run
for beating up an officer
and btw it was not his car

i’ll leave you to make up your own minds ‘bout don & me
i’ve ain’t made up my own mind to this day
see there will always be kids like us
who just cannot fit in
who spend their lives as strangers
outside looking in

some live angry. some live alone
some tread a twisted path
some become songwriters, others sociopaths
but look i felt it was the time to tell all of this to you
and then leave you wondering
just how much of this is true

now what i want to know is
did i entertain you?
