it's been raining for a couple of days now    and my dad's pond is overflowing    the orange fish are at the back door    the toxic flood-water is glowing    and we shake our heads    and get in the car    forget those things we said    making love under the stars stars       i go back and forth daily about us-and-them    and who's really to blame    but i think it's pretty clear who has got the most to gain    from a divided up society that's terrified of honesty    and we can't discern our enemies    so we give them our complicity       they make beer, and we buy it    they make cars, and we drive them    they build walls, we just give in    they build boxes that we live in    they make gods for us to pray to    jobs to give our days to    binaries of gender    but they can't have our surrender       we look at the world around us    and everything we see is crazy    so we drink and we smoke and we watch the tv    they say "don't take your life so seriously"    i say this is the only way i know how to be       ‘cause we need passion not fashion    we need food not bombs    we need action not factions    we need everyone here to be singing along]    we need stories not glory    we need friends not fans    we need guitars not rock stars    we need more than just loud drunk straight white male punk bands    let's destroy out of love    and build out of anger    get our heads out of our asses    and see our lives are in danger       because the world as we know it    is not gonna last forever and these could be the last days    so lets spend them together    and let's never surrender
