SUCH
AN ANNOYING
CONVERSATION
I'M SORRY BUT I'M
TIRED OF TRYING
TO BE SOME PICTURE
OF COMPASSION
AND ANYWAY
IT SOUNDS
LIKE I'M LYING
YES I'VE HEARD
THE WORLD
HAS CONSPIRED
TO STEAL AWAY
YOUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT
TO A HAPPY HOME
AND COMFORTABLE
CHILDREN
NEXT YOU'LL SUE THEM
FOR ABANDONING YOU
SO BITE YOUR TONGUE
YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S BEEN LET DOWN
BITE YOUR TONGUE
MAYBE
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
TO HIT THE GROUND
OH CHRIST
IT'S GONNA SOUND
LIKE I'M AGREEING
WITH THE MOST
ULTRA-BORING IDEAS
OF POP
PSYCHOLOGICAL
WESTERN GURUS
WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN
LUCKY IN YEARS
AND SO YOU SEE
I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF GIVING YOU
THE EASY WAY OUT
AND YES I'LL SMILE
AS I BURN THE
SELF-HELP SECTION
OF MY
LOCAL BOOKSTORE
SO BITE YOUR TONGUE
YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S BEEN LET DOWN
BITE YOUR TONGUE
MAYBE
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
TO HIT THE GROUND
BLAME THE SHAPES
AND BLAME THE ANGLES
BLAME IT ON
YOUR OWN DARK PLACE
AND IF YOU BLAME
ON SOMETHING OTHER
THE VICTIM'S SONG
REMAINS REMAINS
SO BITE YOUR TONGUE
YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE
WHO'S BEEN LET DOWN
BITE YOUR TONGUE
MAYBE
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU
TO HIT THE GROUND
