Don't Go Castin' Your Pearls (Before Swine) Lyrics & Tabs by Carl Klang
Don't Go Castin' Your Pearls (Before Swine)
guitar chords lyrics
Well guess who called me the other day
A TV reporter from down in L.A.
He said he heard a song
A little while ago
On some obscure talk radio show
Then he asked if I was the writer of
The music I just mentioned in the lyrics above
But now that I look back at the wisdom I lacked
I probably never should’a said too much
And as he pressured me to share with him a word or two
And we carried on a telephonic interview
A wee still voice inside my head, was sayin’
"You’re gonna be sorry for every word you just said"
Then sure enough right after he was through
He slandered and defamed me on the evenin’ news
"You’re gonna be sorry for every word you just said"
Then sure enough right after he was through
He slandered and defamed me on the evenin’ news
I should’a listened instead to the voice inside my head
‘Cause here’s what it said to me
You don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
‘Cause they’re only gonna trample them
Into the muck and grime
And when they’re through they’ll turn on you
And burn you every time
So don’t go castin’ you pearls before swine
And when I went off to sing a song in Washington
I was hounded my those dirty dogs at CNN
Who said they wanted to do a favor for me
By givin’ me a little free publicity
I should’a never let ‘em turn their lyin’ cameras on
‘Cause when the cuttin’ and the editin’ was finally done’
They put horns on my head by changin’ everything I said
They made me sound like the devils own son
So you don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
‘Cause they’re only gonna trample them
Into the muck and grime
And when they’re through they’ll turn on you
And smear you every time
So don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
Now there’s ABC Oink! Oink! Oink!
And there’s NBC Oink! Oink! Oink!
CBS Oink! Oink! Oink! and CNN
The New York Times Oink! Oink! Oink!
The L. A. Times Oink! Oink! Oink!
And The Washington Post
Are just a few of the most porkiest people
NBC called to let me know
They were gonna use the music on a TV show
They were gonna use the song
I wrote about the wrong
That happened up in Ruby Ridge Idaho
But then they got a threat’n letter from the ADL
That said "You use that kind of music,
We’ll make your life hell"
Then they dropped me off the show
And now I think I know
Why the music doesn’t sell that well
So you don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
‘Cause they’re only gonna trample them
Into the muck and grime
And when they’re through they’ll turn on you
And rip you every time
So don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
No you don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
I said you don’t go castin’ your pearls
To them sanctimonious media boys and girls
You don’t go castin’ your pearls before swine
Oink!
