Button​-​Down Mind

about

an intellectual with no money is better than a nit wit with an impressive home.

lyrics

Thank you and will you play it again Sam
I am a historian with a button-down mind

I am better company in the written word
Than I am in person so kind
I am scholarly in the written word
Cheap beyond the dreams of popular fiction

I am a historian with a button-down mind
You’re either too young or too old to play hard to find

And in the year’s of hack work
A succession even richer and more deeply realized
I suspect largely they’re unread today
Since they’re only in my mind

Sister what are you going to do with all of your time
And where are all of your connections
Where are the ties that bind

I am here to improve the balance of feng-shui
And the balance of things that need improved today
I am urbanely charming in every way
A deeply unlikeable type of man

During this lifetime
In honeyed smoothness
A narrative prose with satiric wit
My button-down mind is done with all of it
And this contemporary American life
