Poetry Of The Deed |
| They’re coming out of the walls, they’re coming up through the streets |
| They’re quicksilver wracked by some invisible beat |
| And right outside of your door, the very stones come alive |
| They are the spring in the step, the distant look in the eyes |
| Put your Baudelaire away |
| And come outside and play |
| Me and all my friends are poets of the deed |
| We’re exactly what this country needs |
| We scratch until we’re drunk, we drink until we bleed |
| We are what we believe |
| Pentameter in attack, iambic pulse in the veins |
| Free verse powered of the street light mains |
| An Iliad played out without a shadow of doubt |
| Between the end of the club, yeah, and the sun coming out |
| Leave Kerouac at his desk |
| We have romance in our risks |
| Me and all my friends are poets of the deed |
| We’re exactly what this country needs |
| We scratch until we’re drunk, we drink until we bleed |
| And here’s what we believe |
| Before we get bored, yeah let’s be inspired |
| Let’s ignore the applause and set the theater on fire |
| Fight every war like the drunks in the choir |
| Put our art where our mouths are, poetry of the deed |
| Enough with words and technical theses |
| Let’s grab life by the throat and then live it to pieces |
| We can choose, we can change and if we don’t |
| We’re just afraid of living life like we’re loved |
| And in love and alive to all the things we could be |
| If we just believed that life |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too short to live without poetry |
| If you’ve got soul, darling, now come on and show it me |
| Life is too long to just sing the one song |
| So we’ll burn like a beacon and then we’ll be gone |
