lyrics

When I was 3 I sat on Santa’s knee
He said, “When you grow up, what would you like to be?”
I said, “Let me see...a bag lady
a boxcar queen
hag lady
a gutter thing”

When I was 10 I was the teacher’s friend
He sold, “You’ll grow up to be like other men”
I said, “Let me see...I know what I want to be, a bag lady
a boxcar queen
hag lady
a gutter thing”

The high school kids - they voted me
The one most likely to succeed
I said, “Let me see...a bag lady
a boxcar queen
hag lady
a gutter thing”

The unemployment clerk, he said to me,
“The only job left is to join the Navy”
I said, “Let me see...
I know I want to be : bag lady”

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
