WE ARE ALL ONLY BEGINNERS

( AS LOVERS )

WE HARDLY KNOW HOW TO       TOUCH



WE ARE        ALL    ONLY BEGINNERS

( AS LOVERS )

WE HARDLY KNOW HOW TO     TOUCH



WE ARE ALL      ONLY BEGINNERS

( AS LOVERS )

WE HARDLY KNOW HOW TO     TOUCH

but ( alas )

We are too proud to admit this Obvious truth

So we shall continue to mutilate

Each other

And to be proudly mutilated

like the children we are

Playing house

Like we were adults

••

Yes

It is WE OURSELVES

who rob OURSELVES

of our childhood

And no one else !

//

as we so pompously EXPECT

some other kid to

HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER

while we play the

INNOCENT FOOL

//

selling your simple right to grow up

For ****** power and prowess

pretending that all the meaningless pain

Will not be imbedded forever

In your minds and hearts

WE ARE ALL ONLY BEGINNERS ......

get it ?

learning

( remember that concept ? )

Not competing

YOU ARE NOT BUDDING STARS

ON AMERICAN IDOL

But the youth of AMERICA
The youth of the WORLD

learning and growing

in the most loving way you can
