So there I was hiding in a hotel bathroom in Columbia Missouri after a Wilco show on 9th St. going days without sleep, too much iced coffee, and more no sleep thanks to a pal's late night snoring. All night! All night! ALL NIGHT! Ugh!
I call it a Political Slam Jam by Tam
RANTINGS BY AN INSOMNIAC
give me liberty or give me a hamburger
democracy..get in my belly
rollie pollies pushing thru life with a shopping cart full of crap on a stick
sweatshop special on isle 5
skeletons on the runway dance with little girls dreams
while war games for power and money have little boys begging on their knees
top 40 radio brains sweating to reality tv surfing
show up just before tailgating to hear religious quacks sparkle in oversized buildings
the No Spin Zone saving sinners thru tv
giving treats for the rejection of thought and free speech
war president and corporate wh*res lick face in back alleys
leaving stray citizens to howl at the moon for tossed out scraps and housing
wasted space is outerspace
the place to house starving brown children and store nuclear waste
the powers that be and educated thugs with stethoscopes
throw overpriced bones to the chained up middle class sheep
pop music
pop pills
pop filled bellies
pop pop goes the tune of must have oil and money
rivers of concrete
plastic birds and iron trees
keep what's left of nature off me
it's all preserved in some movie anyway
by the power vested by the monster in me
I now pronounce you man and wife
not wife and wifey
Bushy says God Bless America
for he is the Decider
not me
