Clean Slate
most of us
choose to play dead
while the world
is coming to an end
walled in trying to stop
to defuse the threat
all hypocritically bothering to struggle
but No, my Girl!
We ain't misled!
we're banned here
to this sofa bed
were even running out
of pencil lead
riding out waves
while dodging the rubble
we sit in and wait
there's no debate
we're even mortified
to meet our mates
not in tiny rates
but with a Clean Slate
we just might put this threat
checkmate
we'd love to stroll round parks
daydrinks till it gets dark
are you all ready?
get set
on your marks!
we'd love to soak up some sun
in big groups
and one on one
we'll sure be enjoying
the years to come
'cause soon we'll overcome
the concepts of the elder ways
but what does this even mean
nowadays?
we're slowly running
out of bread
and no book on the shelf's
been left unread
we realize that we're
not quite dead yet
we'll live another day
to start some trouble!
we sit in and wait
there's no debate
we're even mortified
to meet our mates
not in tiny rates
but with a Clean Slate
we just might put this threat
checkmate
we'll soon start
getting things done
maybe sniffing a ton
but we'll be reforming this world
just for fun!
we'll step out of the parks
we'll try swimming with sharks
and then cut the heads
off of Oligarchs!
Stop living our lives on the run
yielding to no man's gun
and walk all over the Vatican
we'll be trotting the globe
trying to ignite hope
and gut out
all the Xenophobes!
'cause soon we'll overcome
the concepts of the elder ways
but what would this even mean
nowadays?
we're tryin' to overthrow
the Tyrants of yesterday!
but where will this lead us?
And would you even care?
