Quaker City Night Hawks
The Last Great Audit
[Verse]
Well, here comes Johnny talking ‘bout using his wits
While the rest try to find out just who wrote all of his hits
And you can’t blame a man that secured his sins

Till he cut out his heart and finally has to admit

Try to explain to a son who just can't understand
Why he'd rather sit down than make a stand

Try to [?] is this the [?]
