first thing, i'm not a poet
i was a musician
and damn good at it
second thing, i had some ethical issues
just too nervous and caffeinated
to be a good boy
meanwhile, i wander the streets
a lonely soul, i walk alone
and write my music while i'm walkin to the beat
just so you know,
that song was beautiful
more joyous than anything
that you have ever known
but this world is full of
traiterous pot smokin politicians
and they hate
what they cannot create
but that don't give them the right
to steal my song
and send me to heaven empty
i would rather have just gone to hell
a good boy
with my song
to listen to
while i work all the day long
screw your prejudice
and your malice and your greed
i understand that everyones hungry
and there's too many people
just too many people
but don't you take my art from me
that's all i ever had
and now i'm empty
