Plasticities

   

(from Armchair Apocrypha)



this isn’t your song

this isn’t your music

how can they be wrong

when by committee they choose it all?

they choose it all



chin chin

chin chin



you’re gonna grow old

you’re gonna grow cold

bearing signs on the avenue

for your own personal Waterloo

you’re bearing signs on the avenue

for your own personal waterloo now



we’ll fight we’ll

we’ll fight for your music halls

and dying cities



they’ll fight they’ll fight

for your neural walls

and plasticities

and precious territory



this isn’t our song

this isn’t even a musical

I think life is too long

to be the whale in a cubicle

nails under your cuticle



chin chin



you’re gonna grow old

you’re gonna grow so cold

before this song can deliver you

you’re bearing signs on the avenue

you’re bearing signs

for your own personal Waterloo now



we’ll fight we’ll fight

we’ll fight for your music halls

and dying cities



they’ll fight they’ll fight

for your neural walls

and plasticites

and precious territory
