The Big Average Answer

by @alan-s-bailey

If I ask you what you think about who's in charge, You say it's not my need to question, To so quickly be the opposition of the one who Fed us, clothed us, kept our home clean, As well as kept locks on everything we'll need In life to truly succeed. It's not to question. When I ask you what you think of the score, You say: "The fault lies in your hands, you are The punk, (the riff-raff) the failure, the defeatist," The bold way men always do things, "git 'er done!" That's how it's meant to be, like a Ford commercial, That and big tires, big guns, big on war, *(big on Everyone falling in line to be what society wants)* Very low on counter-destruction, love, solutions, Being the key to our problems, communications, On a small note doesn't seem to save anyone, Can not solve any threat, and can't solve terrorism, Hate, misery, and loneliness. From a long view, the "big" Answer you give me, I still must confess, I disagree, And big daddy tells us we can make change, in a world Full of musty traditionalism, societies duality, he makes sure that "Anyone can see" it's "always been possible for you and me."
