It’s a fucked up sucked up
meat sack of a place
that’s being torn down worn down
and is eroding into space
when you prefer buildings to trees
and poison to fleas
getting down on your knees
in an effort to please
some king some god some unworldly man
all the while brewing his in-articulated plan
you’ve been bushwackled, bamboozled
thought you were wide eyed just to end up a spectacle
now it’s all being laid bare
and with a last ditch effort to get you to stare
to some place far over there
there’ll be some droppings of bombs
maybe a few tons
and we’ll all look away while they continue their play
for our resources no one cares about your money
it’s all about the bees and their honey
because that’s what they’ve taken away
while they get our eyes always to stray
to each other – look at him, he’s gay
and she’s convinced that religion’s the way
the republicans, the democrats
the whites and the blacks
all a subterfuge for the real attack
but freud was mistaken in his final analyzation
for my father and mother were also forsaken
by a society that let them grow up in a situation
that pain is okay and punishment deserved
but you are society so I understand
you were unwittingly part of the plan
to get me to look at my mom and my dad
and never look farther to what’s really bad
the conflict within is caused from without
we are not born with a headful of doubts
and our parents and grandparents are not to blame
also being born into this intricate game
but as long as we can blame each other
we’ll never see beyond our own brother
to the guy with the gun at his head
poking and prodding him too into dread
what’s really going on may actually not matter
just that they’re wasting our time with jibber and jabber
once again diverting our eyes
from what’s been all along the one and only prize
while we run around for another dollar
they grab another forest by the collar
another river full of oil
a bit more poison in the soil
but keep looking at the president’s mistakes
and wars taking place between sovereign states
because all that’s important is our attention
while our world is raped of its regeneration
