Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

4 X 10

It's not strange, no mystery

you and I are history

I put up my protective wall

it's 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall

10 feet tall and 4 feet thick

granite, concrete, steel and brick

protection for you, understand

the little boy, the inner man

boys kissed the girls

then made them cry

that's a man's job, that is why

when you cry, you're just a clone

of every woman I have known

and every Harry, Dick and Tom

gets all of this shit from his mom

who was unhappy, mom was sad

because of a wall that dad had

once its up it won't come down

and mom's a queen and dad's a clown

it's not strange, no mystery

that you and I are history

it's 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall
