classical music does not mean anything [[[ maybe it does ]]]  

bach chopin debussy mozart beethoven
yeah, yeah, yeah
all those strings loaded with tears
all those drums that sound good in brains
            or good on the beach with a dog
they may not make sense in the city
listenin to concertos in this gomorrah gonnarea
of a city is like puttin a silk hat on a pig
the city needs punk and shit stirring jazz
            not backwater twang or
                        blind southern believer gospel
you hippies are dead – failures, all of you
your summer of love launched a hundred summers of dread;
a hundred one-sided postcards
we need love and dread both, sure as we need sex but
now its time to chew it up and spit it out

i cant take this any more
im tired of thinking about it
take my faith no more albums
take my zeppelin bootlegs
rip my arms off and stuff bee’s fifth into the sockets
shove brandenburg #4 up my ass
sing me lullaby with violin
tuck me in and
make me swallow
aching chords
(until I choke and spit and live
