Cut Ups

The CNN Blues

An amendment prohibiting public desecrations
Of prominent symbols of the country.
Who knows? they dont make them who they are.
Dont think. Just blindly obey.

Specific time consideration. We have decided to review nature
And mail snipers to Saddam Hussein.
So next time youre standing in line next to a freak,
Dont learn anything. Dont think.
No matter what they look like just blindly obey.

I am tired... so tired, of politics attempting to
Publicly scorn, ridicule,
One's own protests.
While hiding also from the truth of their cheap ridiculousness.
While only expressing avidity for power.

There may appear to be a leader who is,
Undoubtedly the first thing you notice,
Holding the reins and keeping things in check,
And is still popular today.
"True patriotism" grandstanding.
Dont do anything unless we tell you to do it.
Dont think. Just blindly obey.

And its,
Important for us to realize that,
Long after we've closed the books,
In our minds maybe,
People are all inherently human.
