Handles Up the Roof

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

lyrics

Handle up the roof
the great nation falls
The mice are first to hear
The rumble in the walls
A baseball hits
The window pane
The lady shakes
A snakehead cane
You wont find it in the cards
But its written in the book
She’s knocking down the walls
And putting handles up the roof

one kind of fool
says there there is no god
another kind
says he knows hiim personally
but whar does a fish
know of a fishery
or an apple
of the seed from which it grows

all these men and women
frozen into a generation
a generation split in half
two lying sides of a lying nation
what do they know of egypt
the back fire of a curse
the knocking down of doors
the handle up the roof
