Revisionism Street

I saw them standing on a cornerBathed in ordinary lightThey turned away and started walkin'And faded off into the nightSome years ago they were in fashionTonight they couldn't get a seatThey've got themselves a brand new historyFrom Revisionism StreetWritten on Revisionism StreetThe years of sacrifice and struggleThe arc of stardom's natural courseThe inevitable declineThe wolves waiting at the door"Let's dig up something really nasty""Let's get some clay around their feet""No ones memory is sacred 'round hereOn Revisionism Street""We'll never be in the arena""Hey, we'll never have to compete""We'll never write a classic novel""And we'll never have to be discreet!"Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac NewtonElvis Presley, Captain BlighThey're heroic or patheticDepending on which book you buyCharles Dickens, Jackie GleasonBurn 'em all, turn up the heatIf there's no truth, use innuendothis is Revisionism Street"Let's find ourselves some old acquaintance""Let's see what they have to say""Some disgruntled ex-employee""Presto! Payday!"A tree falls in the forestA million copies go to printSome parasitic little feederSits back and makes a mintSomewhere a baby's softly sleepinglt's innocence completeUnaware they're workin' late tonightOn Revisionism Street
