the best minds of my generation where are they? a quick scan of memory shows most trapped. that's life? that's what people say...anyway, the view from the outside looks different. little fish, little fish, bite the bait, tastes like fate, learn to hate, no one darker than you could be friendly. we only know those people from TV. "i've got a lot of black friends." oh, ok, you work with some guy and you don't call him "nigger" there, but you've never seen him outside of the office. as long as you know the label to paste on him, he couldn't possibly be human. don't think, don't ask too many questions, they'll think you're weird then, and your cube won't have a window. embrace 'i've got mine,' and put the blinders on. someone will fix the world, they always do. sit back and take your shoes off. relax, armchair quarterback, and just watch it happen. a little taste of fortunate, and you'll be hooked. what else is there? you don't know - you never looked. |
