not me, man

[dragon_deer]

quick flash in a flurry
flavor's vision ain't blurry
let me read you a story
this one has no happy endings and no heroes
look for love
get zeros
peace of mind search brings static
i know, i know i'm makin' my own racket
slip into a shiny
lenny and squiggy
chi-town bears jacket
oh, lest we forget the battles that have been fought
given freedom to express ourselves
only to play it safely
what a waste see
the stand outs get shook down
cheek bones grinded to the side walk
new thoughts met with big frowns
puckered ass kissin' gets a lollipop
sad little systems in a sad little time
makin' silk purses from sows' ears
that's all we can do
how many times do we have to choose
between shit and shit
before we realize that their choices
are not our voices
they're trying to make daddy believe that suffocation
is the same thing as a stroll in the park
