How does it benefit you
to say I don’t give a shit
about what’s in my food
or the price of crude
or who’s laying their lives
for politicians
who cheat on their girlfriends
kill their wives and
tell their children
that money is everything
that first love dies
and no one gets anything
unless they take it
from the bum guy next to them
you buy that too?
you buying him?
can you really own it?
I know,  you know,
the lies own you
until you finally own up to them.
So why won’t you listen
when I’m trying my hardest
to help you understand
that if you think it’s possible for you
to make it on your own
you won’t, you don’t, you can’t.
