It Doesn't Mean A Thing
The Airborne Toxic Event

Well I never knew my mother

But I can't say that that's so bad.

She was still a girl of seventeen

The night she met my dad.

He was just six months out of chino

Trying his hardest to stay clean.

When they'd sing, and they'd sing, and they'd sing

Like doves sleepin with broken wings

With a bed fit for a king

It didn't mean a thing

It was a shotgun forest wedding

They forgot to bring the guns.

They were too busy counting promises

To children not yet born.

No one could afford the ride

They just hitched up the 101

And they'd sing, and they'd sing, and they'd sing

Like doves dancin with broken wings

With a view fit for a king

I should have been sleeping in the sun

And there was a loneliness, they would confess

Like the world had just gone bad I guess.

And they'd hold hands looking into the eyes of god.

And they'd say tell me why you hide from us

Why you filled us with such wickedness

Why you spared us from your grace

But not the rod.

Now my dad said fuck the details

You just keep your head down, hide

You gotta find yourself alone before you find the eyes of God

You may be broken scared and mattered

Tear at the flesh of your my hearts strings

You were born to be a peasant not a king

So just stop acting like you were running from something

Ya gonna leave the way ya came without a thing

With your heart tied to your mind tied to a string

And they'd just sing, and they'd sing, and they'd sing

It doesn't mean a thing
