Killer Wants To Go To College II

Paul Simon · Songs From The Capeman [1997]

Sal

I know you're trying to protect me

Searching for another truth

With your language and your poetry

From my ignorance and youth



Hey I did not come to argue

My life never made much sense

I just wish that I could hug you

You're my only defense



I don't understand your writing

I could barely sign my name

All I ever learned was fighting

But I'm not the only one to blame



The streets were dark with danger

I have to stand up for my friends

In a land where I'm a stranger

And the hatred never ends



Inmate

Killer wants to go on t.v.
