No Apologies Lyrics - Taming The Tiger - Joni Mitchell

The general offered 

no apologies 

he said "the soldiers erred in judgement 

they should have hired a hooker" 

no apologies 

to the outraged japanese 

no "sorry little girl" 

the pigs just took her 

tireskids and teethmarks 

what happened to this place? 

lawyers and loan sharks 

are laying america to waste 

Freddie said that "juan thinks, i think 

he's the devil" 

what a lofty title 

for such a petty little tyrant 

bigger beasts abound 

and they kick this world around 

at this crazy speed 

with violence and greed 

tireskids and teethmarks 

what happened to this place? 

lawyers and loan sharks 

are laying america to waste 

So what makes a man a man 

in these tough times 

as druglords buy up the banks 

and warlords radiate the oceans 

ecosystems fail 

snakes and snails and puppy tails 

are wagging in the womb 

beneath the trampled moon 

tireskids and teethmarks 

what happened to this place? 

lawyers and loan sharks 

are laying america to waste 

The general offered 

no apologies
