Red paint on the wall; a message to us all that says, “eat the rich.
Make the ruling class pay for their own crisis.”
Well, the Governor did decree that everyone is free to do as they please;
“so long as you vote for me in the primaries.”
“Oh pretty please?”
Hard to believe we’re gonna make it out alive.
I guess I should get in line. I’m number eight four nine and I’ve been here all day,
When a grey-haired woman says, “sir, you’re standing in my way.”
I went down to see my father. We sat outside under the telephone wires
and had a full conversation in complete and utter silence.
Oh what a feeling.
It’s so healing running out of time.
So, this is how it feels to lose all four of your wheels In the middle of the road
with no inclination of how the hell to get back home?
I’m rolling over in my grave. I know that I haven’t made it there quite yet.
Come by next week and check on my progress.
Oh, bring flowers please.
It’s hard to believe we didn’t make it out alive.
“Now serving, number 849.”
