WE THE PUBLIC

WE THE PUBLIC

We the public
Paint our nails
Turn in circles
Chase our tails


We the public
Send our faxes
Sit on crappers
Pay our taxes.


We the public
Wash our faces
Flush our faeces
Tie our laces.


We the public
Kiss our spouses
Rot in factories
Dwell in houses.


We the public
Go on line
Send our texts
And read true crime.


We the public
Drink in dives
And break up with
Our modern wives


We the public
Do our best
To earn more money
Than the rest.


We the public
Forward notions
So as to attain
Promotions.


We the public
Hope all see
When we tend
Our Bonsai trees.

We the public
All invest
We plan ahead
We feather nests.


We the public
Ail and age
Lose our zest
And quash our rage.


We the public
Roam round lost
But always keep
Our fingers crossed.


We the public
Trust and vote
And swim the
Party leader moat.


We the public
Pass and die
In the public
Turf we lie.


We the public
We the public
We the public
We the public
We the public.


Some of us
Walk other ways
Do different deeds
And solve the maze.

Hymns and things
Help us hope
We’re resolute
To never mope.


Prayer can’t hurt
The hard try game
Pause to reflect
Be done with blame
For me the Man
And you the girl
And him the soldier
And them the cousins
And we the public.
