grandpa ice - billy simons jr. lyrics

[intro]
sunday morning after church i went to grandma’s house
sneakin’ ’round the attic, that’s when i found
a military uniform embroidered i*c*e
i said “grandma, who was grandpa? would you tell a bit to me?”

[verse 1]
well she looked across both shoulders and the air got real still
she said “now you’re older, oh baby i sure will.”
well she said “it’s 2055, and i know it sounds absurd…”
what she told me next, i remember every word

[chorus]
“your grandpa was the kinda man who prayed with all his heart
and he’d say he loved america, but hated every part
your grandpa was the kinda man ‘thought h*ll was where he lived
well he passed on twenty years ago, and this ‘what now it is. [?]”

[verse 2]
“well he loathed the educated, and he loathed the needy too
he loathed the folks complainin’, but that’s all he used to do
well he loved a foreign single mom or a colored working man
yes he loved to tie their hands and beat and drag them to his van.”

[chorus]
“your grandpa was the kinda man who loved to hear them scream
and he’d wave his gun at anyone he wanted on the street
and he said the lord would have his day and wash away the sin
well he passed on twenty years ago, so i guess he did it then.”
[verse 3]
then grandma told the tale of how the mighty fell from power
they took away his database and his thirty bucks an hour
yeah they walked them to the gallows once the verdict had been served
and they asked “would you still like that mask to speak your final words?”

[chorus]
“your grandpa was the kinda man that always was convinced
that god would save america, and i guess he did
your grandpa was that kinda man, and him and his platoon
yeah they passed on twenty years ago and not a day too soon.”
