Political Fu

It’s nobody's fault but Wall Street
we took out loans, going in blind
When our families and neighbors cheered us
Gambling their new fortunes on the side

Then WE'RE offended by organ thefts,
And name-calling. Ignoring
The doom-saying by those who took the time to READ the past
Did WE? No.

men cried when they realized this mistake
It was a form of shortsightedness
In which the fed itself did partake
We are in a new era of prosperity, lasting a thousand years at least
Said they then, and did they now
And afterwards we gape at indiscretions made by the priests

We haven’t yet escaped the rat race
“You’re worthless until you’re in college”
We get steadily more and more rules restricting our intake of knowledge
Instead there’s nonstop partying and spending money that to most would seem debase
What does it matter? There’s only so many ways to get laid
And commitment…Is..just..NOT..ONE OF THEM!

(NO WAY) divorce rates are going through the ROOF these days
And there’s no fucking end in sight
Because polygamy requires legal hazes
and excuses for a tryst to last a whole night
which is all fun and games until someone loses their head
and the spurned lover sets fire to the other's bed

Maybe the divorced realize something we don’t;
That everything comes to an end
That there are ideals that we can’t or won’t
Put up more than a finger to defend
“It’s too much work; who has that kind of time anymore?
I can’t let anything cramp my style
Besides, I heard that in high school, jenny was a whore”
What does that make YOU, Kyle”

What does that make YOU?
What does that make ME?
What does that make THEM?
Is there any solution you can see?
there isn’t
there is
No there isn’t
Yes there is
NO THERE ISN’T
YES THERE IS
NO – THERE - ISNT
YES – THEIR – FUCKING – IS
But it’s up to you to figure it out – not something for me to tell you about

Good night, Ladies and Gentlemen
