Whatever It Was Lyrics

She's got a slant 6 mind and a supercharged heart,
The little princess is singing about her parts,
She says, "Come hither", but when I get hither she is
yon.
I was looking for what I loved. Whatever it was, it's
gone.

TV spreads and tension mounts,
Like a guy in a bra it's the idea that counts,
It's a picture of a picture of a whore holding a
picture of a john.
I was looking for what I loved...

In the chemical fields by ammonia light,
I would offer my prayer to the Corn Goddess tonight,
But they chopped off her head and stuck her body out on
the lawn.
I was looking for what I loved...

My generation takes what it can get,
Are you surprised that the kids are all upset?
They're looking at Nothing and Nothing turns away and
yawns.
I was looking for what I loved...

Can't go to the country - the country isn't there,
It got chopped up and mortgaged and vanished in thin
air,
It's a paint-by-number and it costs a million bucks
down at the pawn.
I was looking for what I loved...

An electronic head and feet of clay,
Gonna be a lotta roadkill on the Information Highway,
Someone stole the video of the everfresh and lovely
dawn.
I was looking for what I loved...

You might be streetwise. You might be real bad,
I guess you forgot that you also are a dad,
Your kids won't forget it when they're trying to find
someone to lean on
I was looking for what I loved...

The little towns are lying on their faces,
All that's left are fading parking spaces,
It's been quite a week, there was a drive-by shooting
in Lake Wobegon.
I was looking for what I loved...

A Native American told me this whole deal's a mistake,
And this implosion is just icing on the cake,
If the Great Spirit is gambling, I'd say the con is a
bigger con.
I was looking for what I loved...
