ramblin’ crazed and hungry

can’t believe the truth
smackin’ me in the face
there’s gotta be more here
than flags of the human race

wavin’ all over
in colors makin’ no sense
these periodic episodes
convulsing all over the fence

damn it all and even more
to hell with all of this crap
what gives ’em the right
to set up all them traps

tryin’ to catch the mice
that slide beneath their sights
while all them horns wailin’
all fuckin’ day and half the nights

my dream life deserves much better
now this i can tell you true
this idiocy of warrin’ peoples
is enuff to make me a cobalt blue

my spirit is on fire
cascading shit gets deeper
when we’d all be happier
ears cleaned out from beepers

squeakin’ and squelchin’ daily
time ain’t got no meanin’
but they sure got enuff time
to keep me from my cleanin’

my room’s piled up high
with papers and paints and shit
but money allows no freedom
and time’s just turned to spit

good fuckin’ gracious
i think i’ve said it all
it’s time for me to shut it down
and go eat mexican food ‘fore i fall.
