Rogues Anthem

I fell asleep to your serenade
Of pompous propaganda
As the band went on and played.

Now I’m lost in scattered thought
To things I’ve sold out to
On credit that I bought.

Anyway…..

All my friends say there’s a choice
As long as I agree with you
I’ll always have a voice .

Go on and tell me Im the fool
It’s such a drag when all your friends think I’m a tool

Anyway…..

If not the time then tell me when
The silence from your roof is so damn deafening

Shame the side you can’t be on
Selling , telling from the armchair of your lawn

A victim of the pen and sword
Tragically so tired and very very bored

Memories on my mental tape
same scene stuck in loops
I fall and lost my cape.

So stop pretending like you care
There’s monsters running through the square
Illusions that were all alone
Could not be further from our bones

Your Independent tendencies
Haunted by “if truly free”
By the company
Of the wannabes

Pass the wine and pass the sorrow
Let’s all meet here tomorrow
Again
And figure it all out then.

There’s a rhythm to your heart
And if you haven’t yet
I strongly suggest you start
To walk to it.
