Peeping Tome: (A Name You'll Never Learn So You Won't Need to Forget)

from Songs in the Key of Repeat by J Doll

/

lyrics

the forecast says rent
charity donations spent
the new flavour of compassion
exchanged for last years
worn out fashion

we'll hang the children on walls
with credit card ropes
in our favourite malls
the animals are our friends
you like to snuggle up to them before bed
the restaurants are jam packed
with overfed humans

you might be 9-5
i'm 7-3
different chord changes
of the same goddamn routines

the croutons in my salad
are made from precariat infants
i shove em' in my mouth
and chew ... ... ...
make your grandmother
clean up after me
i suppose that's where we've gotta go
paint a vile picture
with poetry and prose

have you lost all hope?
what's your hearts honesty?
i'm not like Noam Chomsky
i'm just a name you'll never learn
so didn't have to forget

It's sad the common folk agree
we think like a cure
but act like a disease
n' the earth is struggling
to breathe
cast out opposing thinkers
the constitution's just a red carpet for the elite
the oceans are plastic
and your democracy thieves.

i got away from you, yeah
my darling knife
just to cut myself open
with a dulled life.

found myself digging for, my favorite lines
like The Stones did back in
1969
got a canteen full of oil
but I'm thirsty

I got a car with no gas
can't take my kids to the movies

my ego's talking to me again
telling me I need to keep up with
The Simpsons

have you just found love?
what's your hearts deceitful honesty?
well i'm not like Frusciante
I'm just a name you'll never learn, so you couldn't forget

turn off the news
lay back in bed and think of all the little things I could do
how much time I would need to start any of these
freeze
until I fall asleep
