A Gypsy Revolution

An awful lot of bother
So little cause
For such and awful lot of bother

Was only water
A small stream
Well, technically a river

I was only curious
Not a crime to wonder
Why they are called "Flood Gates"

Diana was acting strange
Hadn't eaten in three days
And not getting any thinner

Diana lost her job
Her boss was unreasonable
Had poor business practices

I was only curious
Why Prostitutes don't get maternity leave
Never meant to start a revolution

Max seemed sad
The city took away his bed
In re-landscaping central park

Max had no friends
Is the real shame
A lot of homeless people don't

I was only curious
What’s the problem with a little unity
Never meant to induce a vagabond rebellion

Jeff only wanted company
A little conversation
About anything other then Aids

Jeff had a foot in the door of death
Only a foot
Still, company was hard to find

I was only curious
If people could save each other
Never meant to cause a stir

Never meant to open "Flood Gates"
I was only curious
And caused an awful lot of bother
