To Whom It May Concern Lyrics
Dear Mr. Bones,
I've had enough,
you can try to pull us down
with your pinstripe weasal stuff
but word travels in this town
I wouldn't write home with you,
we're better off without you,
without you Mr. Bones
Some people
feed on other people's troubles
some people
beat on other people's meat
some people
want to bleed us dry and
some people...
gonna drown on your feet
Some people
You said "boys I'll get
you more but you have got got to pay me by the hour"
anyway you are just another bore
who believes he's a superpower
I wouldn't write home with you,
we're better off without you,
without you Mr. Bones
When you talk about loyalty
I just hope you release,
since you ate my royalties
Mr. Bones this is goodbye
This is goodbye
and as such hereinafter
shall be referred
notwithstanding or foregoing
statements unpreferred
don't claim you understand when
you're not heard a single word,
a dicky bird
Some people
feed on other people's troubles
some people
beat on other people's meat
some people
want to bleed us dry and
some people...
gonna drown on your feet
Well, this was originally written about the band's ex-lawyer, called Mr. Jones. They were advised that the song may cut a bit close to the bone, so they changed it to Mr. Bones. Still, he looks like quite the knob.
