98 I'm sad I'm not under water But the bloop is more of a melancholy loll at the side of the pool I was * * that close Ah well At least I know my work was good enough Stupid Vogons Crushing everybody I'm not getting an accountant and bribing my way into a license, even if I weren't small time, they'd make it unbearable It's ironic I used to wonder what life under Nasser was like, with all the nationalized brands People lusting after soft kleenex and coca cola from abroad And here I am at end stage capitalism wondering where all the Nestle products went and why the ones that are still on the shelves are the price of a house Can't boycott something we aren't importing anymore Is this good or bad? I can't say where it's going Before 2011, I would've said it's leading to 2011 That's what everyone said I don't know anymore Gen Z are wilier, ask them There's this scene in the Sound of Music where the nuns take the distributor wires and cap out of the Nazi's car I want to do that I can't run, I can't fight and I'd embarrass everyone if I got tortured But I do want to help And in general, I want to live Not exciting adventures, not testing my survival skills over and over and over Like, getting paperwork done in half an hour Or people saying good morning, the other day this really friendly coffee guy said... actually I don't know exactly how to translate that Maybe-- "you have brought light" It's a cute standard greeting but I haven't heard it in ages And you respond, "it's your light" And he wasn't even horny, men are usually friendly to me when they're horny After tomorrow is day 100 I don't really want to do my hair anymore I think I'll just walk at the nice park and get another coffee from the friendly kiosk guy The grass smells divine And there are butterflies It's a good way to celebrate my nose and butterflies are free |
