about

Francis actually turned out not to be so bad.

lyrics

Habemus Papadum

They say the least one among you
Shall be the greatest one of all
And blessed be the meek, cos in heaven you know
They're gonna have a ball
Yet its always / the rightest / wingest / ones /
Who rise straight to the top
Not the priests who helped the workers
But the ones who helped the cops

Infallible, his holiness
With direct line to the truth
Ironic then that the last one
Was once in the Hitler youth
Can't blame a child of course
He believes dear daddy's lies
But that daddy was a willing helper somehow
Isn't a big surprise

Yeah its no surprise
They've power in their blood and ice in their eyes

A sober prayer goes up from all the
Rings that would be kissed
"May the poor be always among us, Lord
And let's stick it to the socialists"
The cardinals leave the conclave
And the smoke rises up the pipe
The forces of order raise a glass
And to me it's no surprise

Yeah its no surprise
They've power in their blood and ice in their eyes

[Lyrics copyright Richard Wittman 2018]

The Spreewells Los Angeles, California

The Spreewells make angular energetic music about the modern world. Their name evokes the savage beauty of a certain 1990s NBA star and the noble river that flows through a delicious foreign city. We are: Richard Wittman (voice, rhythm guitar), Jeff Gross (lead guitar; sometimes bass), & Mike Ball (bass; sometimes lead guitar). Drums were played by Milo Todesco and, on Marginalia, by Joel Joseph. ... more
