Heart Like a Badge

from Bloodline by Wampeters

/

lyrics

in the middle of a mid-winter squall
the icicles form
on the ceilings and walls
and the refrigerator's low on food
she lies on the couch
with her attitude

Amnesty International came calling today
thanks to old reliable
the U.S. Mail
and Greenpeace wants to save all the snow
take it to the desert
make an irrigation bungalow

but the weather's just another distraction
another bagatelle
that could stop her taking action

she's got a mind like a bumpersticker
and a heart like a badge

she thinks of what she'd do if she could
send half a million dollars
to Planned Parenthood
feed the hungry out in Mandalay
or set fire to the headquarters
of the NRA

but the weather's just another distraction
another trifle
that could take her satisfaction

she's not happy
and she can't sleep at night
she's not happy
but she knows that she's right

she digs down deep into her firesale purse
a dollar fifty-eight
probably won't lift the curse
and the wind won't leave her alone
no heat in the loft
home sweet home
