Sleazy

Post no bills.
No risk, no thrills.
Fevers and chills.
Bottles and pills.

Ride out the storm,
Until they shut it down.
Controlling the sky,
From deep underground.

Play some music,
to soothe your soul.
Drink lots of whiskey,
to maintain control.

Stay away from the day.
The night is alright.
From the light you don't stray,
'gainst the darkness you fight.

The lies pile up
'Til you pay to rent trees.
And the government's made us,
a brand new disease.

such a sleaze

The heart burn pills,
are killing my knees.
The bank keeps calling for me,
to give me the squeeze.

The dog can't shit outside,
Let alone run free.
Made up rules we must abide,
by and large arbitrary.

Forget the past,
That shit's history.
Don't question life,
That's the great mystery.

Enjoy the ride,
keep your hands inside.
And when you get to the end,
you might get to ride it again.

Playing Games

Jump run shoot.
Avoid.
Climb.
Wait, don't run.
Take your time.

With nothing in mind.

Watch, and learn.
Listen and feel.
You can still have fun,
when nothing is real.

Roll the dice.
Pick a card.
Fate's crunching the numbers,
and working hard.

Where will you go?
Where will you be at the end?
In the winner's circle?
Not even for pretend.
