The church is a business, and the rich
are the business men.
poor come piling in and when a poor man dies, he has a wooden
cross, and they rush through the ceremony.
But when a rich man dies, they
drag out the Sacrament
and a golden Cross, and go doucement, doucement
to the cemetery.
are the business men.
............................. When they pull on the bells, the
cross, and they rush through the ceremony.
But when a rich man dies, they
drag out the Sacrament
and a golden Cross, and go doucement, doucement
to the cemetery.
And the poor love it
and think it's crazy.
and think it's crazy.

This is such a great poem. I am always amazed how tough and tight Bob was, right out of the box. He has the lyric gift, combined with a gritty, purely American, tonality, that hits it perfectly. And his political nature is ever more relevant.
