i remember the cynicism
the cringe
within a culture of boorish binge
biz baz buzz
before we knew what clubbing was

they mocked us as nouveau hippies
or as retro-cool wannabe trippies
being what could be
clearly seen

‘twas a bit of a bore

remember that 1978 flop by country joe
dude… what a melomaniacle chore

but for us the few
we knew
the hip-hop was never going to stop
and that was a very good thing

old granddad not at all sad
as he politely paved the way
for even the best of us to say
pay attention to what and how
the people sing

the people sing
the people sing
yada yada
bing bang bong bing

and the they then grabbed the state
by the two thousand shit storm
second millennium fiscal kerfuffle aught eight

which then did create
another crash and burn
crash and burn

no
now how the neo-libtard tides will turn
will turn
will turn

Love
