Rockwell's Burden By Steven L Herring Skinned knees Peel the scab Over and over and over again Nothing ever heals Broadcast for the world to see Never forget Never forgive Peel the scab Peel the scab Hold the pain Comfort in anger Peel the scab and flash the message Still life on a magazine Cover up the dirt with a moldy shirt It's a flag print How American! Sand in the ointment Rub it in flashing colors Broken power button Who gets up to shut it down? Peel the scab Don't go fast Make it last Perpetual pain like an evening post on a Saturday Paper cuts work best when the media is fresh
