[Verse 1]
[G]Thi[D]s pie[G]ce is entitled
Mob,
My
Own
[D]Business.[G]
[D]Yes, this [G]world would be a pretty easy [D]and pleasant place to live [G]if everybody
could just [D]mind his own [G]business and let others do the same.
But a [G]wise [D]old black faggot
[G]said to me years ago,
Some people are shits, darling.
I was never able to forget it.
Most of the trouble in this [D]world has been caused
[G]by folks who can't mind their own business,
because [D]they have no [G]business of
their own to mind.
Any more than [D]a smallpox [G]virus.
Now your virus is an obligate
cellular parasite.
And my contention is that what we [D]call evil
is quite [G]literally a virus parasite
occupy[D]ing a certain brain [G]area which
we may term the right center.
The mark of a basic shit is
he has to be right.
And right here, we must make a diagnostic distinction
between [D]a hardcore virus [G]-occupied
shit and a plain, mean,
no -good son of a bitch.
Some of these sons of bitches don't cause any trouble at all,
they just want to be left
alone.
And oth[C]ers cause [G]minor trouble like
[Bm]barroom fights and bank robber[G]ies.
To put it country simple, [D]former
Narcot[G]ics
Commissioner
[D]Harry
[G]J.
Engslinger, diseased,
was an obligate shit.
Jesse
James,
Billy the
Kid, and
Dillinger were just sons [D]of bitches.
[G]Now, victimless crimes are the very
lifeline of the right virus.
And there is a growing recognition,
even in official quarters, that victimless [D]crimes
should be removed from the books or subject
[G]to minimal penalties.
And [D]those individuals who cannot [G]or will not mind their
own business cling to the victimless
crime concept,
equating drug use to private sexual behavior with robbery and
murder.
If the right to mind one's own business is recognized,
the whole ship
position is untenable,
and hell hath [D]no more vociferous [G]fury than an endangered
parasite.
Drug [Bm]laws,
Mr.
Anslinger [G]said,
must reflect society's disapproval of
the addict.
And here is
Reverend
Braswell in the
Denver
Post.
Homosexuality is an
abomination to
[D]God and should never be recognized
as a legal [G]hu man right any
more than robbery or murder.
Indeed, one is tempted to
seek a total solution to the shit
problem, slaughter the shits of the world
like cows with the aftos,
and we'll all feel [F]a lot better.[G]
Well, such a drastic intervention
may not be necessary if the
public is alerted in time.
I [A]sincerely hope [F#m]not from [G]humanitarian considerations,
there are hopeful signs.
At the present time in
Colorado, where I am currently practicing,
approximate mob conditions
prevail.
[Bm]There are no sex crimes
on [D]the book.
[G]You can fuck a [Bm]cow right in [G]front of the sheriff
and all he can say is, boo.
you can [G]hardly expect to bring down
the barn with an act like that.
Well with the right virus offset
perhaps we can get this [G]whole show
out of the barnyard and into space.
This is the space [G]age
and we are here to go.
