“Tom Wolfe’s Tailor”
(Broderick)
Verse 1:
Well I wonder if Tom Wolfe's Tailor ever read his books/
Whether he thought he was a man of letters, a dilletante, or a crook/
Cuttin up them suits so loud, his entrance was an exit/
Silently sewing searsucker psychedelic

Chorus:
Well some men are mountaineers, and some men are sailors/
Some men are Tom Wolfe, and some men are his tailor/
Miami Vice meets loaded dice, in a bus on its way to Queens/
A ridealong with Neil Armstrong, piloting our dreams

Verse 2:
Portrait of a man, flying over Vietnam/
Flies on the wall for Rome at the fall, and the great folly of man/
More Dear Johns, dead and gone, from a fate they can't command/
John looked at Tom, then dropped the bomb, said, "we don't know where that lands/

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And i think I know what I believe/
But I'm not an impartial actor/
And you know looks well they deceive/
But they're not the only factor

Verse 3:
The crowds the same just older/
Though you know you’re the beholder/
Seen the beauty and the greed/
And the suffering through the gold dust/
Making sense don’t pay the rent and good intent just gets blown up/
When we make the same mistakes, we're stuck in place, dressed up as grown ups

Repeat Chorus
