Ophelia

I was Ahab's first mate Long before 'ol Ishmael I was lying in that belly of a whale For years before and after Jona's tale I was Christ's first born son Mother Mary named me Dharma I was there when Jerusalem fell and I was Virgil's guide in Dante's Hell Ophelia don't you judge me for what you see Ophelia don't you judge me I hauled stoned for the pharaohs tomb I fought sharks with the Indie doomed Got my revenge back in '86 With Mundus and Braddick killing a Monster on the Cricket I sung songs with the Chicago 8 We were still singing when the bomb blew I was there in the square free but helpless As I watched the hangman tie each noose Ophelia don't you judge me from what you see Ophelia don't you judge me I've been a general I've been a pauper's son I've been a slave picking cotton I bled the hate and caressed the love But it's all just for nothing girl, for you it's not enough Ophelia don't you judge me from what you see Ophelia don't you judge me
