the power dynamic

 

change will come    through the mouth of a gun     the truth is a bullet       the mind is a gun       and a gun is power       as money is power     and beauty is power      we like power     we can’t get enough        all relationships are based on power      and resistance to power       coz power ennobles       while the fear of losing power corrupts       it’s that terrible dynamic     that measures out the conflict      that constitutes our lives

inertia

 

paint a picture of this    emotionally squalid     got the fear on now     something chronic     but I have music inside me      so I’m not that far gone      not a damp eye in the house     must be the season of cynics    I’m too tired to make adjustments this late in the deal

lately, I’m riddled with doubt     and what if it’s bad?     but what if it’s good?   but what if it’s bad?     and what if they laugh?     so what if they do?    it’s the bloody psychogenesis     of crippling inertia      my head is black with trouble      and I’m weary of the conflict

sober

I quit for the sake of my sanity       but I soon found out      you have to quit every day        maybe I’ll quit quitting    no, don’t tempt me      don’t get me started      once I get started      I don’t know how to stop       I’m not a temperate man       I’m a greedy bastard      who cannot get enough

It’s not easy staying sober      but it’s so much harder staying drunk       staying drunk takes dedication        an appetite for destruction     the will  to live as a fucking pariah,  a leper and a bum       no, I no longer have the strength       to deal with so much fun

chimp

 

he don't know who he is

coz he’s had a hit

that's knocked

him fucking senseless

so he does his business

with a brownian motion

he’s erratic and addled

dazed and confused

he ain’t got no magic

stashed in his locker

but he feels like a hero

in his own dime novel

and not just another

chimp in the zoo

whispers

 

I felt I owed you some words      but what’s the point?     they wouldn’t ring true     they’d make me like you      I’m too lazy now       to speak the truth      they say there’s beauty in truth       even when it hurts      I’m not so sure       the truth can be ugly      it can cut like a knife  

does the lie you believe become the truth?     people tell lies to look more attractive    but mostly they just get uglier     I heard what you said      that I wasn’t worth knowing     but it was said from a distance      so I might have been dreaming
