AMERICAN IDLE
Sideshows of Fat Lady’s on Suspended Cables in DisabilitySinging songs on lang syne to Kingdom Come, 24/7Circuses of Untamed Animals in Captivity and UniformitySounds a lot like our present day society, And you knowthe show doth go on…..as progress sits very still…….
Performing wars on foreign shores, with audiences watchingClaiming to be the Greatest Show on Earth you will never seeI hope this is true, cuz we as American’s ain’t teaching golden rulesJust fools holding on too long not willing to a share in world affairsLeaving opponents to question and scheme and dream on…..Topping our latest performance…..being the latest greatest Idle
Believing to be on top is to treat the whole of humanity impudentlyBelieving our way of Idleness is to be preserved, respected and projected?Forgetting trains of thoughts of freedom and equality, all done to be an IdolWorshipped and despised in our very own lives and lies of status quoBringing opposite effects from bail out checks doled out for our survival?Benefiting yet a few while all are stalled from attaining a fairy tale dreamSo it seems that I’m radical and of malcontent, non American cuz I’m not IdleMy thoughts travel not far to find solutions, but I’m blacklisted cuz I’m not greenPollution from ipods, unemployment, sinful enjoyment, all for a fee of freedom
So I’m throwing rocks from my glass house onto yours, so you can feel the breezeWe can’t all be idle if our soul’s are in discord, sitting by waiting for life cuz its freeI am and have been performing a juggling act as well, You see I have soared on the trapezeand even fell…..Landing on a trampoline, seen by crowds around, Jumping right back up toacting as a clown……Moving nothing more than the nation towards more defamation…….Or claiming to be a Liar Tamer, roaring preposterously, Defaming myself ingeniously,and crowds did participate With shows of spectacle just to uncover a new act….To follow , but the new season is more mental shackles and chains….of the same….You know, ummmm what’s the name of the favorite show we all watch called……An American Who Is Idle……..
Sideshows of Fat Lady’s on Suspended Cables in Disability
Singing songs on lang syne to Kingdom Come, 24/7
Circuses of Untamed Animals in Captivity and Uniformity
Sounds a lot like our present day society, And you know
the show doth go on…..as progress sits very still…….
Performing wars on foreign shores, with audiences watching
Claiming to be the Greatest Show on Earth you will never see
I hope this is true, cuz we as American’s ain’t teaching golden rules
Just fools holding on too long not willing to a share in world affairs
Leaving opponents to question and scheme and dream on…..
Topping our latest performance…..being the latest greatest Idle
Believing to be on top is to treat the whole of humanity impudently
Believing our way of Idleness is to be preserved, respected and projected?
Forgetting trains of thoughts of freedom and equality, all done to be an Idol
Worshipped and despised in our very own lives and lies of status quo
Bringing opposite effects from bail out checks doled out for our survival?
Benefiting yet a few while all are stalled from attaining a fairy tale dream
So it seems that I’m radical and of malcontent, non American cuz I’m not Idle
My thoughts travel not far to find solutions, but I’m blacklisted cuz I’m not green
Pollution from ipods, unemployment, sinful enjoyment, all for a fee of freedom
So I’m throwing rocks from my glass house onto yours, so you can feel the breeze
We can’t all be idle if our soul’s are in discord, sitting by waiting for life cuz its free
I am and have been performing a juggling act as well, You see I have soared on the trapeze
and even fell…..Landing on a trampoline, seen by crowds around, Jumping right back up to
acting as a clown……Moving nothing more than the nation towards more defamation…….
Or claiming to be a Liar Tamer, roaring preposterously, Defaming myself ingeniously,
and crowds did participate With shows of spectacle just to uncover a new act….
To follow , but the new season is more mental shackles and chains….of the same….
You know, ummmm what’s the name of the favorite show we all watch called……
