The Spectacular Blues (Hitchhiker 8)
(after reading Situationist stuff)
1997-07-21
You'd like a life, not just something to survive
but that's practically illegal
though despite what a thousand "hero-cop shows"* show
any crime you could do would be dwarfed
by the sins of the pricks in control,
(whose job is not to give you a pot but to force you to piss in one)
but have heart
nothing built on lies ever lasts.
meanwhile the chickens come home to roost in Oklahoma city.
15 minutes of fun
and alot of alienation
hey, get your naked tits out of their eternal flame
what's the matter with you, have you no respect for the holy dead?!
(...well they sure don't in their fascism)
i'll honor that poor sucker buried there
by refusing to become a receptacle for "the spectacle"
man, i'm so lucky,
failure has spared me a lot
it's allowed me to follow a bluebird out of the grand canyon
and to sleep-in and finish my dreams before i get up.
15 minutes of fun and alot of alienation
visions of situationists pickaxing boulevards?
hierarchy the public enemy
it was spring and bricks were in the air
bricks made a hell of a difference in france that year.
15 minutes of fun and alot of alienation
visions of situationists pickaxing boulevards
and heaving them at spectacle receptacles.
they've sure kicked some ass in france
(though it's still a big bourgeois mess)
and eventually, the chickens come home to roost in
downtown manhattan
you'd like a life
not just something to survive.
you'd like a life not just a lifestyle?
well, take a life.
