we’re all blind in the beginning
Some say life
it is a river
but I say fuck that
it’s a flame
you and me, we’re proper bandits
off of our rockers in full-throated harmony
I once heard your name come across
in some forgotten tune on a Wurlitzer
and it sounded like LSD
we take what we need to
if we deign to designate
your filth, this disease
will paint your front door
a scarlet red A
go Big or go home is the answer
to the question about to fall out
of your stupid mouth
so keep it shut
we don’t need no education
we front cold side with
a pimp stroke slide
drop a rhyme like Chuck D
drop a dime on that lazy greed
that is coursing through the outsiders
we bleed mercury and crows’ feet
tie chains to my insides and pull
at the heart of the matter
sometimes everything is too much
and we let loose together
with a rebel yell and a pint in hell
sine sine cosine tangent cotangent
intangible this breath of kinship
and hardcore motorhead love
that drives us to table
ace of spades
trigonometric symmetry
here is something you can’t understand
pierce evernever places
hand in hand
walking on smoke in a halo
ain’t life grand
life is a flame,
we will go out.
until then we burn
bright enough to shine

Excellent. And some of us stay blind because we don’t really give a fuck and they are the ones who usually end up as President. 😉

All I keep thinking is, “I’ve got something to say, It’s better to burn out than to fade away!!!” Awesome OP! Love it.
