Russian Roulette

by @andrea-22

Little kids, you’ve gone years without a family photo You yell into the microphone “Flaunt us like a showboat!” Dreamy DNA, all of you, but please listen Take down the streamers after midnight, be sure to grow up to be driven! Don’t ask why in Russian roulette some play with a loaded clip It’s because of weight on their shoulders, not because of a chip The economy is relentless in hoarding it’s detainees And the bounty The Earth provides has been taken away by the Kings Yes, the mice wish the cats were all dead (same for the loggers and trees) And maybe those cats have fleas, of that there’s a guarantee For there may not be a reason or rhyme, though there’s a reason to rhyme for me Just imagine a meadow.. without the flowers or bees So if you ask why in Russian roulette, some play with a full revolver I’d have to tell you things gets complicated when you tangle the brain and the dollar
