Kick In The Head

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: David Nelson

Sung by Dave Torbert with the New Riders and by David Nelson with his band and with Phil & Friends.

Do you think we can work it on out?
Change the whole proposition about?
I'm in no position for an act of sedition
But I really love to scream and shout

Half a loaf is better than a kick in the knee
Is there gonna be some tea or just more sympathy?
I really got a pumper on the line this time
And it's mine, mine, mine

I ran to the King of Creation
I told him, save a bit for me
The way things look, I could have written the book
And you know I can't hardly read

Sally does your dog bite?
No, no, no
Keep him on a choke chain
Reel him out slow
Got a little place
Call it my own
It never really was a home
No, no, no, no

Went to the college of evil
The smoke nearly drove me away
I'd go crazy if I wasn't so lazy
What more can I say

White-faced Lydian judge
Won't you give a little one-two-three
Him down on the corner singing "Little Jack Horner"
But you got to let the gravy be

A whole loaf is better than a kick in the head
Tell me what you mean, I'll tell you what you said
I sent you for jelly, you came back with jam
Who exactly do you think I am?

Who do you think I am?
Who do you think I am?
Just another kick
Just another kick
Just another kick in the head?
