Music for Worms

Some of us live where the steel scrapes skies
Rubbing of elbows
Selling and buying
Some make decisions
Some sever ties
Friends in high places
Thumbs into pies

Not me
For I am just a worm
A lowly worm
It's free
Existing down here with the germs

Some will trade faces
Give as they take
Stalks in their markets and numbers at stake
Some build their homes on the others they break
Cutting their teeth on what's left in their wake
And it's wholesome I guess
As it's so full of holes
Like pits full of gravel
Or tents in the cold
White picket fences 'round homes for the old
Big empty houses
Cards made of gold

Not me
For I am just a worm
A lowly worm
It's free
Existing down here with the germs
Oh!
The germs
You see
'cause down here I can squirm
And I squirm!
And it's free
Once you've accepted the terms

Hospital bills and practical skills
Leeching the pockets of learned and grilled
Very tight bracelets with quotas to fill
Nice concrete boxes for those who aren't killed
Trendy new cruxes
Popular swill
Prompting comments in boxes from unwitting shills
Comments in boxes from unwitting shills
Marketing justice for those who were killed!

Not me!
For I am just a worm
A lowly worm
It's free
Existing down here with the germs
Oh!
The germs
You see
'Cause down here I can squirm
And I squirm!
And it's free
Once you've accepted the terms!
