Bare Beautiful Booty

Did you
Ever feel like crying
For no reason at all
Not that you let them fall
Not that cry at all
Just somewhere
Deep down
You wanna let it all fall apart
Sit for a while
And stop being tall
Feel sorta small
You know
Maybe slide down a wall
And sniffle pout sigh
Let the whole world
Pass by
Look up at the sky
Pretend you can fly
Never wonder why
Vomit up the lie
Ruin the suit and tie
Run naked
Booty beautiful bare
Not goinÕ nowhere
Hanging out everywhere
Just any old where
Without a single care
Screaming itÕs not fair
At the top of your capacity
Fuck society
Arms wide
Head back gracefully
For the whole world to see
Manifest destiny
Finally free
To just be me
No conservative preservative
No ism additive
Live and let live
Now
DoesnÕt that feel
A little like spinning
ÔTill ya stomach starts to
Go in reverse
Or reading your
Favorite Bible verse
Like the last shall be first
But worst come to worst
TheyÕll lock you away
In a smaller cell
Than the one youÕre in now
With the rest of the people
Society castes out
For lack of class
In this capitalistic system
That operates only to consume
As though that were the
Ultimate goal
Love peace and war
Somehow made one
AinÕt nothing new under the sun
Hope you had fun
Before itÕs done
And yes
It is
