#1590 - let's all pretend the others aren't

 

1590

5.129

8.v.24

let’s all pretend the others aren’t

a provocation

 

and blame them of course

they made us do what we had to

 

look what you made me do

 

I’m building a great big house to sprawl

from the river to the sea

 

of course it’s just imagination

 

there’s one less chair

for the game

 

the miracle is that we’re all more

 

you should see what we believe in there

 

and say no harm

it’s all our right

 

God sent us

told us

tells today

 

touch a door

bless this

 

fold myself away in a prayer

 

put to the sword to tell

 

how we must kill and kill until

 

surely one is coming too

 

no, it’s better not to look on glory

and

it’s every few generations

they’ll murder us in our beds

 

it’s been like this forever

we must keep up

 

the music starts

we’ll see who’s left

and who’ll go round again
