[00:01.21]It all started when I wowed them
[00:03.63]With my rhetoric and spark
[00:05.70]
[00:06.31]At the Thomas Ryan Social Club
[00:08.56]On Seventeenth and Park
[00:11.23]With a scrupulous proposal
[00:13.39]For waste treatment in the Central Ward
[00:15.93]It was my handsome face
[00:17.22]And turns of phrase
[00:18.40]That brought attention
[00:19.94]Toward a set of possibilities
[00:22.69]That I had not previously planned
[00:25.70]But before I knew what happened
[00:27.63]
[00:28.18]I was ringing bells and shaking hands
[00:30.69]In the Marcus Garvey projects
[00:32.82]With my registration polls
[00:35.54]I brought seven hundred new voters
[00:37.64]To the Democratic rolls
[00:40.89]Leafleting the C-Town
[00:42.68]In the cold November rain
[00:44.83]
[00:45.56]Late nights down at headquarters
[00:47.99]Drafting papers to explain positions
[00:51.00]And when Column A swept Central Ward
[00:53.90]Thomas Ryan himself assured me
[00:55.86]My efforts had not been spent in vain
[00:59.01]I was named the Parks Commissioner
[01:01.77]The youngest in the state
[01:03.49]
[01:04.01]I threw myself into my work
[01:06.66]Drafting plans to explicate my vision
[01:09.55]For the waterfront
[01:11.23]Developers be damned
[01:13.58]I planned a grassroots effort
[01:15.23]For preservation of our public land
[01:19.71]
[01:20.88]Sing while you can Frank Vinieri
[01:23.80]You're the man
[01:24.64]You have been weighed
[01:26.26]In the balance and found wanting
[01:28.67]
[01:29.88]All that energy and promise made
[01:32.45]So manifest at Thomas Ryan Social Club
[01:35.98]You're champion for sure
[01:38.60]
[01:40.39]All this and more could have been yours
[01:44.09]
[01:49.40]Oh I never saw it coming
[01:51.15]
[01:51.84]When old Pat Flynn vacated his
[01:54.12]Assembly seat it was logical
[01:56.61]That I'd be nominated
[01:58.47]
[01:58.99]At first I was ecstatic
[02:01.11]Then I got that sinking feeling
[02:03.47]When I thought of a few personal details
[02:05.87]I wasn't keen on revealing
[02:08.15]They obtained sworn affidavits
[02:09.88]About psychedelics that I'd used
[02:12.83]Several girlfriends several boyfriends
[02:15.13]Made the cover of the News
[02:17.52]When they found my dirty pictures
[02:19.63]Well I just broke down in tears
[02:22.34]And the district went Republican
[02:24.58]For the first time in 37 years
[02:28.68]
[02:29.67]Oh sing while you can
[02:31.71]Frank Vinieri you're the man
[02:33.76]You have been weighed
[02:35.33]In the balance and found wanting
[02:37.65]
[02:39.47]State house or bust looks pretty good
[02:42.44]'Til your eyes adjust
[02:44.29]Stand clear of the closing doors
[02:47.55]
[02:49.45]All listen more could have been more
[02:52.49]
[02:58.78]A megastore will open
[03:00.76]On the waterfront this year
[03:02.70]I tried to raise my voice against it
[03:05.73]But my platform's disappeared
[03:08.25]At the Thomas Ryan Social Club
[03:10.65]Where I was once adored they said
[03:13.55]Go home Frank Vinieri
[03:15.08]You're not welcome anymore
[03:17.34]
[03:18.05]They called me a degenerate
[03:20.21]A criminal a whore
[03:22.42]Oh I ask you people
[03:24.04]What's a Democratic Party for
[03:27.29]Now I work in software development
[03:29.30]Writing copy for Oracle
[03:32.13]The thought that I could be fired
[03:34.13]For my private vices
[03:36.01]
[03:36.78]That's just laughable
[03:38.30]
[03:38.83]So now I'm wealthy beyond reason
[03:41.41]
[03:42.15]And bored by God
[03:48.06]Sing while you can Frank Vinieri
[03:51.46]You're the man
[03:52.29]You have been weighed
[03:54.20]In the balance and found wanting
[03:56.49]
[03:57.81]In this precipitous rise and fall
[04:00.78]There's a message for us all
[04:02.96]
[04:03.68]But I can't put it in words
[04:05.68]And now I'm done
[04:07.86]
[04:09.85]Lord help us everyone
