Noose Dressed Like a Necklace |
A Cadillac drives down my street |
A bead of sweat pouring slow down a palm line |
I see a bumper sticker: it’s a bearded man with a wanted sign |
A myth we’ve made to scare our fears away; |
A slogan that we slap on all our misdirected hate; |
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain |
But it’s really just a desert corpse we painted on a wall out in some cave, |
anyway |
I don’t know where he’s gonna park that thing |
My neighborhood drunk’s on line at the deli |
With his shaky hands and swollen face he waits for his coffee |
He blacks out curbside every night, and every day crawls back toward Wall Street |
So I don’t see it like it’s «us» and «them» |
I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend |
Droning on and on and on and never doing what we’ve wanted |
Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever-dangling carrot |
And I’m tired of it |
Well, who’s to say that we can’t just fucking change it? |
Well I know it seems dramatic but I treat it like a crisis -- |
From the office to the coffin, all our time and talent wasted |
And that weight against your throat, is that a noose dressed like a necklace? |
From here, I couldn’t really tell the difference |
Either way, I say let’s not take any chances |
'Cause I don’t know where he’s gonna park that thing |
No, I don’t know where he’s gonna park that thing |
No, I don’t know where he’s gonna park that thing |
