From the recording Stand Around & Watch

Lyrics

   There was a man who knew too much
    Boys town queen with a Midas touch
    He desired to be on his knees
    He acquired the big disease
 
    Go ahead and cheer him on
    A couple of years and he'll be gone
    He's not like us, his mind is curved
    He got what God thought he deserved
 
    And we Stand Around And Watch
    Just one man
    Not that great a loss
 
    And we Stand Around And Watch
    Just one man
    But not one of us
 
    Goes to the market to buy Ovaltine
    His skin is purple, his teeth are green
    Twenty-five look the other way
    Twenty-five figure he was gay
 
    Go ahead and cheer him on
    A couple of months and he'll be gone
    It doesn't matter that he'll be crying
    It doesn't matter that he'll be dying
 
    And we Stand Around And Watch
    Just one man
    Not that great a loss
 
    And we Stand Around And Watch
    Just one man
    But not one of us
 
    And we Stand Around And Watch
