O'Riviezzo (Galway Nights)

Came through town and made it his own.
Like Trombone Shorty on his trombone.
Took the stage and looked us in the eyes.
Never held back and never gave us lies.

Down for the getdown, up for the nightlife.
Got a cool sports car, got a cooler wife.
Riding down the road like Steve McQueen.
Never seen no one who was so code green.

O'Riviezzo, oh.
O'Riviezzo, oh no.
O'Riviezzo, there he goes.
Oh, O'Riviezzo.

Rides out of Texas with his hat in his hand.
Leaves Denver behind like a mountain man.
Culturfied and dignified with girls to raise.
Along for the adventure of his career maze.

Italians and Irish are one in the same.
They like food and music and other things.
So a toast and a cheer as we all have a cry.
Hope he enjoys those Galway nights.

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
