Fuck



It's not such a bad word anymore
So much has changed without really changing anything.
Like a record
The needle moves
But it's still the same record.

So fuck
Still fuck
Down on luck
Life is stuck
In a rut?
A cliche, but...

Played and toyed
Girled and Boyed
Sigmund Freud
Sex enjoyed
Unemployed

Educated
Graduated
Celebrated
Social hatred

You've got the brains
But never told how to use them
So in the real world
You're surely going to lose them

You've been canned
Mass produced
And your potential
Mass reduced
Left and right brain
Media seduced
So now your thought
Drug induced

We stand before
A new dawn
We all know
That something's wrong

Hectic
Crazy
Limed
And lazy
Heady
Hazy
Rhymed
And Daisys

But behind the flowers
You'll find a brick
And under grass
You'll find the cable
God and nature
A marketer's trick
You're just horses
In money's stable

Cable
Stable
Cain and
Abel
Truth is found
In childhood
Fable

Run the maze
The hamster wheel
Try to stop
Fight and steal
Find your devil
Make a deal
On your knees
Make your appeal
Or run ahead
Pretend it's real
And soon you'll lose
Your sense of feel

Somewhere in it
Speak your peers
And some of that
Will reach your ears
With lessons learned
Over the years
Heartfelt thought
Heartfelt tears
Your future isn't
Butts and beers
Very little is
What it appears

Some of you
Have more to gain
But what that is
I can't explain
Surrounded by
Automated terrain
You'll have to learn
To use your brain
For idleness
Will breed insane
'til head explodes
A crimson stain

For some, that mess will be cleaned up
And all the others get to hold the mop

(So...)

Light your coal
And make a goal
Pay your tolls
But keep your soul
