The end will be a sellout

(idea) by Igloowhite (1.7 mon) (print) ? 8 C!s I like it! Wed Jan 23 2002 at 21:40:36

At six in the morning
The freeway was totally empty because
All of our cars had been sold to cover the tab because freedom knows no price, being priceless.
It's quiet now, the one guy with a bike working
His way towards me a mile off.

But we are willing to bear any burden
I didn't cry when the French repo men
Towed lady liberty back to Brittany
For the metallic value of the copper

Because we were willing to pay any price
It's completely fine that I have to pay for a subscription
To the First Amendment club
With my 0% APR for the first six months credit card
or otherwise
Tiny metallic bees run my every comment against a database
Of copyrighted phases and have been sworn as officers of the
Court with metallic honeybee minds

I will meet any hardship
Including singing my favorite songs underwater
In the coldness of the River, face down
Like a petitioner
Because bees can't swim
And on game day,
When the Dodgers play in the River's dry summer bed
Because Chavez Ravine is occupied
By the Japanese Imperial Army
The end will be a sellout.

The revolution is over, and we have lost	You have been paroled from participation in the Capitalist Project	This is the way the world ends	Welcome to 2002, the twenty-third year of the eighties
Brad, what if I told you I belonged to a network of freedom fighters?	How the United States highway system works	Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds	Chavez Ravine
Enduring Freedom	The Militarization and Privatization of Public Space	Trotsky's Bodyguard	Westbound on Interstate 10, four hours from El Paso
Doomsday Clock	Do not take advice from someone named after a reentry vehicle	The revolution will not be televised	Metaphor for the lives we're living
Friedrich Nietzsche	Capitalism is not freedom	In Los Angeles, something is always burning	Waiting for the last disaster
