Drastic Measures
You can’t listen to your parents
Because they’re enchanted
By the world they created
With every choice
And they’ve forgotten their
True responsibility.
You can’t listen to the kids
Because it’s not fair to them
I want an answer so badly
I want an answer so badly
But not from you.
I think drastic measures are called for
And I’m usually right
Of course maybe the measure
Is sitting on the couch
As the wild fire burns all around
Maybe the measure is letting
Yourself be consumed.
