Uncle Watson Wants to Think Too Much Joy (Ft. Joan Osborne)

Uncle Watson wants to think
So please leave him alone
Go and play outside
Come back when you’re grown

Uncle Watson wants to think
Can you help him understand
Why nothing ever comes
Of anything he's planned

We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end

Uncle Watson likes his scotch
Takes his first drink at noon
Well before the sun sets
He'll be shouting at the moon

Uncle Watson went to war
Uncounted years ago
He never says what he did
Only, "You don't wanna know"

We're not really related
He's just my mother's friend
Men like Uncle Watson
Will destroy us in the end
