Lyrics

Castle Walls - art by John Kinsella 1989 for the Hated Uncles song "Castle Walls", from "Variety Show" (1989).

There’s a one-eyed joker
in the hall,
rain on the window
drip-drop-drip-drop-drip,
on a rotten soul.

Racist assholes in the underground,
you want a career with a future?
move on up, well, move on up.

Keep your eyes and see clearly,
lock your doors and keep out the shit,
roam the castle by yourself,
one-eyed joker in the hall,
playing poker by the fire,
don’t get burned,
please don’t get burned.
