Lyrics Tori Amos – Benjamin
Text:
Benjamin
Science whiz
My computer bat friend
Tell me where
Tell me when
I’ll meet you ninja Ben
I’ll meet you ninja Ben
At the back of the record store
With tapes you secured
Prove the extent of their viciousness
As they purge our scientists
My computer bat hunts for facts
Campaigns
Funded by
The fossil fuel industry
How many of us
Will they own
To give them global mastery
Sucking hydrocarbon from the ground
Those pimps in Washington
Are selling the rape of America
As they attack Juliana
Now there is no avoiding
Necessity resurrecting herself
And her daughters
Who will never be bought
Not by the gods
Not by the men on the hill
Thread of life
Measured quick
Spin then
Snip
Benjamin
Science whiz
My computer bat friend
Tell me where
Tell me when
I’ll meet you ninja Ben
Tell me where
Tell me when
I’m in your army Ben
