I can see the truth in his statement
Smallpox blanket
No Way

R.E.M.'s, "It's The End of the World As We Know It"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
birds and snakes, an aeroplane...
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
birds and snakes, an aeroplane...
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Why They're Nonsensical:
