Incapacitated
Under-vocabulated
They rejected him
From the film fest
Interconfabulated
Distraught and amputated
They ejected him
Into a wasp nest
Contradictorated
Highly adulterated
Into the water
For a soft target test
Dystopia invited
Ticketed and cited
Handcuffed high and mighty
Await whatever’s next
(Inst break)
(Repeat v1)
I’m alright
I’m alright
Mother always said don’t complain
Be good
Behave
Behave
Be nice
Smile be
polite
Don’t. (Hey!)
Make. (Hey!)
Waves.
Intellectuality
The burden of fragility
A violent past and nothing lasts
A violin’s intensity
Months of keeping score for him
A better sense of where we’ve been
A better taste for London gin
Tinnitus in his ears
There’s nothing for a human here
A high-c ringing all he hears
A promise of solace again
made to mother dear
His siblings have abandoned, gone
canaries quit their coal mine song
Blood is coming out of him
There’s nothing compensating him
I’m alright
I’m alright
Mother always said don’t complain
Be good
Behave
Behave
Be nice
Smile be
Polite
Be good
Behave
Behave
Be nice
Smile, be polite and
Don’t. (Hey!)
Make. (Hey!)
Waves.
We bring the fire
Where the fire needs to be x4
