Well the dawn was coming. Heard him ringing on my bell.
He said, "My name's a teacher, or that is what I call myself,
And I have a lesson that I must impart to you.
It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true:
Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun;
No sense in sitting there healing everyone.
No man's an island and his castle isn't home.
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown."

Those that can't teach
Those that can't teach
Those that can't touch their toes
Wipe their ass and blow their nose, teach

Well the dusk was coming. Saw him sitting by the well.
He said, "My name's a Christ, or that is what they call myself,
And I have lesson that I must impart to you. 
It's all parables, but I must insist it's true: 
"William Zantzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll 
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'. 
And Mollie Dimples James held her while she was bleeding
from Paterson New Jersey to Gulfport Mississippi to Matamoros Mexico.

Those that can't teach
Those that can't teach 
Those that can't teach, teach love 
Those that can't teach love
Those that can't teach love

	--The Bastard Karamozov on Guitar
