You never blame the lettuce
for embracing what it's learned
whether it grew beside a crucifix
or inside a prison yard
It may grow up to be an astronaut
or wear your sisters clothes
As long as everything is done under the sun
and its dumb to smoke a cigarette
beside a tank of gasoline
to shoot an apple off the head of a baby
crying in the street
maybe a little misdirection is all one really needs
Explosions may sound beautiful to me...
Adorned in army green and chewing bubble gum
Yelling never helped to cure the vertigo
Vaporized
Bi-polarized
Glad to be monopolized
At least you had the cash to buy new shoes
You never blame the open door
for carrying in the wind
You never blame the shiny blade
for digging in your skin
Your temples have been throbbing
Your head is bound to hurt another day
as long as the doctors can identify your pain
You never blame the lettuce
for rotting in the ground
They've got scientists and activists
to point the blame on other things
like the fact that its not getting enough
action in the bedroom
Its not romanticized
No, its just criticized
It has passion for its mother and it has passion for its dog
One it needs to follow and the other tags along
and speaking of connection
The only charity that you have ever been offered
Was from the man next door who wanted
to burn
your house
down
Sweet anarchy!
New plastic slavery
THEY are out to get us
Don't blame the lettuce
