Hannibal - Dan Bern Lyrics




Let the niggers burn down nigger town

Step aside for burning and looting

But if they set foot in Beverly Hills

Time brother, brother time to start shooting



Everything everybody has in their homes

Will be taken away next week Wednesday

And everything everybody ever believed

Will be disproved next week Friday



I'm going down to Hannibal

Going down to Hannibal

Gonna buy a new suit of clothes



Hitler never hurt a soul

I read it in a book

That I finished up just this morning

I was happy and I just couldn't wait to tell the good

news

To all of my dead uncles

When they tore down the Berlin wall

Everybody danced

But between what I feel and what I say

There's a thirty foot barbed wire fence



I'm going down to Hannibal

Going down to Hannibal

Gonna buy a new suit of clothes



The world is one big cosmic joke

Played on me, I hear

As soon as I leave this room

All of you are going to disappear

Time begins to bend and shift

Maybe you haven't noticed

But just the other day a man in Washington state

Admitted killing Jesus



I'm going down to Hannibal

Going down to Hannibal

Gonna buy a new suit of clothes



I'm six foot tall and 180 lbs

I can punch through a wall with my fist

But I don't understand how with just one kiss

You can wrap me around your finger

You can wrap me around your wrist



Everybody who has ever ever been alive

Is alive today in Georgia

As for the rest of us, I don't even know who we are

It's a mystery I guess



I'm going down to Hannibal

Going down to Hannibal

Gonna buy a new suit of clothes



You see, everything I know, I learned from my dad

He learned it all from his

And his dad just happened to be

Wrong about everything



I'm going down to Hannibal

I'm gonna buy a new suit of clothes

I'm going to wear three neckties

You're going to help with the bows

You're going to help with the bows

You're going to help with the bows
