All Things Considered Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

There is this older guy 

That comes around from time to time 

We're sure that he fought in the war 

The war in Vietnam 

Most of what he tells us 

No one's verified 

He swears that he was there 

The day that Brendan Behan died 

He also claims he trained 

A kid named Cassius Clay 

He cost Goldwater the election 

On election day 

If he was still with us today 

Then he would introduce 

Us to his closest friend 

The one and only Lenny Bruce 

The truth is what he's been through 

And what he's had to do 

What he's seen and what he's done 

All things considered 

What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone 

We knew it's true, he's short a few 

Check out the deck, it's light 

Said he wrote the entire soundtrack 

For 'A Hard Day's Night' 

On Peyton Place played second base 

He says but he regrets 

The stadium was Shea 

The team the New York Mets 

The truth is what he's been through 

And what he's had to do 

What he's seen and what he's done 

All things considered 

What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone 

All things considered, he's not bitter 

He's not mean, no, he's not done 

All things considered 

What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone 

There is this older guy 

That comes around from time to time 

We're sure that he fought in the war 

The war in Vietnam 

Most of what he tells us 

No one's verified 

He swears he was there 

The day that Brendan Behan died 

The truth is what he's been through 

And what he's had to do 

What he's seen, and what he's done 

All things considered 

What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone 

All things considered, he's not bitter 

He's not mean, no, he's not done 

All things considered 

What he's telling us isn't hurting anyone 

Every now and then we hear our song 

Every now and then we hear our song 

And every now and then we hear our song 

Every now and then we hear our song
