Goodbye life
Goodbye death
Goodbye to every old new thing I got left
Goodbye profit
Goodbye loss
Goodbye to living easy at a cost

Boredom the enemy of the new suburban century
Lack of conflict making conflict necessary
Trying to understand our own contention
Trying to explain with words
When words are just human invention

The edge has been chiselled down to a very clean surface
A generation blanketed, blindfolded from the reality of this place
They got to get some action, rocks and blocks where hurled
Their courage dies from carpet burns
They join in packs, stage meaningless meaningful attacks
A town the same as the next town
The rain falls down as it always has

The dogs will bark orders again and again
The leaders will provide some harsher messages
The prison walls will weep with innocent cries
Democracy’s last stand
The majority’s last hand
The 99 point 9 percent
You can have the point 1 that I got left
Put it in your pocket for a rainy day
Put it in your pocket because there’s taxes to pay
Your kids will need it when they work for me
Your kids will need it when you’re all history

Is this an encouragement to be your own boss...they take out so many taxes and deductions and still the foolish Senators cry out for more taxes even while the President strives to throw a few peanuts back to us which the elephants will crush before they reach our hands.   James
