we had no plan
we had no plan to HAVE a plan
we played in a band
typing and waitressing for rent and beer
and now look
real jobs, house, a few bucks in the bank
kids, grandkids, cats
home gym, basement music bar--
we still have the band
as i think about this failing moment
i’m watching Warfare
a movie about the iraq war
we invaded a country
across the world
for no coherent reason
bombed them up and down
terrorized the populace
and got our *** kicked
just like vietnam before it
america does tend to fail
in spectacular fashion
doesn’t affect rich people
much though.
9/11, Covid, Trump
21st century catastrophes
that changed the conversation
i do dig The Pitt
but freaky how Noah Wyle
gets glory and millions
for playacting medico
while us real medicos get zilch
on the other hand
Donald Trump gets glory and millions
for playacting president
Noah Wyle is way more convincing
Texas loves Texas
New York loves New York
but doesn’t talk about it
Texas never shuts up
fooling yourself is the way to go
you're doing it anyway
so go full throttle
you'll wind up ahead
don't bother fooling other folks
it takes a lot of energy
and it doesn't matter anyway
nobody cares like you do
so go forth and prosper
my deluded compadre
after the galactic destruction of hiroshima
we felt we needed a bigger bomb
exponentially bigger
we needed a thermonuclear bomb
equal to 1,000 atomic bombs
so we built one
then we built many
it was necessary

not if but when
maybe bird flu will save us
