Slavish Devotion to Form

You give directions to the deaf with pointing gestures
Talk the glory of god with some fool believers
They say I've gotta engage with the world and the people living in it
But I stay open to second opinions
They say if I want want things or even to just want to stay healthy
These are the terms the world offers and I've have to meet it halfway
But I don't buy that exposure to sick will ever help me

Talk in circles with a bigot, for what payoff?
Yell with an angry mob in that way get off
They say I've gotta engage with the world and the people in it
But I stay open to second opinions
If you want want things or even to just want to stay healthy
These are the terms the world offers and you have to meet it halfway

Punch an old head and break your fist
In forty, be gone and dead
They say engage with the world and the people living in it
I'll be reading my comic books instead
