Angry Song

 

 

            It’s an endless field of the worthless

            Cultivated and wise in survival

            We are the chaff, my friend

            We are the chaff

 

            Civilization is a joke

            As is the idea of moving beyond it

            Explosions rule the day

            Ideas rule text but not hearts

            And the sweetest voice is only

            A selfish person looking for attention

 

            Grow fat within your own self regard

            And remember anger as the only policy

            Carry a weapon of fear and rest assured

            With pharmaceuticals

 

            There’s a giant herd, a massive conglomeration

            All the unshorn, worthless sheep

            The wolf is over in yonder fields and

            We are the stragglers, the poets

            We are the stragglers

 

            Now I can write on a hot summer’s evening

            Because that’s all that’s left

            Now I can feel isolation in truth

 

            No one, but no one loves a poet

            No one, but no one loves anything
