Young Men |
| young men are supposed to have sex |
| young men are supposed to have sex and get drunk |
| and sleep in on sunday morning til brunch |
| young men |
| aren’t supposed to read philosophy between the ages of twenty-two and thirty |
| young men |
| are supposed to be callow and cavalier |
| about things that later they will have to think are important |
| young men |
| young men |
| young men |
| the world is supposed to open like an oyster |
| the world is supposed to open like an oyster |
| the world is supposed to open like an oyster |
| the world is suppose to be ours |
| i don’t wanna be the one who wastes precious time the one who has no fun while |
| i’m in my prime before i’m done there will be dancing and girls… |
| whoa! |
| oh oh oh oh oh! |
| i don’t wanna pledge my brain to some college town before i’ve had a chance to |
| look around locked up withe dumaine in a cap and gown that isn’t the reason you |
| go to brown or wesleyan or other schools young men attend |
| whoa! |
| oh oh oh oh oh! |
| why fast when there are bones we could be sucking dry? |
| sucking dry? |
| why give up anything when there are jokes and things to try oh? |
| things to try, oh? |
| don’t make me be serious already don’t make me be thirty already, |
| don’t make me be responsible already |
| don’t make me grown up already don’t make me be anything but one of those |
| young men young men are supposed to watch porn dumaine loves porn i need it |
| young men young men young men |
| aren’t supposed to read plato or derrida or yeats or adorno or shakespeare or |
| kant or goethe or hawthorne books that sit on our shelves forlorn why read them |
| now if we didn’t before |
| no oaths or regrets no serious intentions |
| no bookish retreats |
| no quiet contemplation |
| the world is supposed to open like an oyster the world is supposed to be ours! |
| young men young men |
| are supposed to eat meat, look sharp, dump girls that’s part of the deal that’s |
| why you’re owed |
| when you’re |
| young men |
