Uncle Watson Wants to Think
Uncle Watson wants to think
So please leave him alone
Go and play outside
Come back when you’re grown

Uncle Watson wants to think
Can you help him understand
Why nothing ever comes
Of anything he's planned

We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end

Uncle Watson likes his scotch
Takes his first drink at noon
Well before the sun sets
He'll be shouting at the moon

Uncle Watson went to war
Uncounted years ago
He never says what he did
Only, "You don't wanna know"

We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end
We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end

Uncle Watson has been known
When I forget my place
To rise up in a rage
And suddenly punch me in my face

Uncle Watson gets confused
In truth he is quite dim
His one unquestioned skill
Is making others just like him

We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end

Oooh

In the end
