The Heard Grows Thin

Your Father Was A Scorn Filled Alcoholic Cop

And Mother Wasn't Far Behind

You Were Ripe For The Adverse Running

And So Ready To Defy The Right

Your Fashion Was The Anti-Fashion Approved

Your Music Was The Latest Whatever Core Trend

A Tattooed Body With A Mind For Rent

An Adolescent Iconoclast, Iconoclast

Fall Into The Ranks Aligned

Cattle-Pressed Pushed To The Left

So Anti-This And Anti-That

That Somewhere Along The Way You Forgot To Laugh

Taking Every Cause You Could Champion

You Were An Overnight Political Machine

You Carried Forth The Flag Of Your Elders

And Quoted Marx For The Class-Bound Breed

Throwing Rocks Through The Corporate Windows

Great Destroyer Of The Economic Lie

You Got One More Year For The Oppressed

And A Lifetime To Be All You Once Despised

With Career Opportunities

The Tidal Waves Of Pressure Mount

Reality Is One Hard Blow

So You Gave Back Your "Scene Card" And Checked Out

You Had A Dream Once, But Now Its Sold

Assets, Equity, Financial Gain?

All Of Your Protests, All Of The Unrest

Gone Like A Song, Never To Be Heard Again

Dead End Workdays? Remember What You Hoped

What You Always Thought You'd Be?

How Does It Feel To Reject It

Walk Away, Then Run?

To Turn Your Back And Trample

All Of Them Into The Ground?

Birth Begets Life Begets Death
