Why You Young Whippersnapper
Here kid have some old —
my get up and go has got up and gone song
is it already morning cuz bed’s where I belong
this clump of proletariat lump has got to be wrong
I’m more wind in the trees and walk on the beach sort
prefer counting peas beneath sheets sport
or investigating state of affair report tort
though I can tell you this I don’t know that
don’t know if reality is half alive half dead cat
but have seen how human and hammam interact
been places with people I did not know
surfed flux with weird back and forth flow
and now I’m here still looking for where to go
can’t tell you true what where when why
but no matter what know you still have to try
to find word of your own, shed this social lie
cuz most this this has already been done
repeatedly found not to be very much fun
and you lose most of your you once you have won
