Collective
The tone is
harmless
like
warblers
nesting
warm
inviting
Come in
out of the cold
if you only fold
into us, we'll all
be warmer if you
only give us more
of your feathers
Wait don't go
don't be alone
Let go of self
preservation
Best is yet to come
so grab this gun
Just point it
away from
us
No, no no
lay your eggs
right here
We look
after
it.
Majority decides
Power to the people
who've been here
the whole time
We know who
history goes to
We know how
how to weave
through stories
like a mongoose
through cobras
We love
an underdog too
or an old man
asleep
at the wheel
Your kids get us
Death is better
than all this
suffering
The bill? What
purge? No, no,
The kids'll get it
We'll tell 'em
be like Jesus
be quiet. No
We can't turn
the heat on
be like Jesus
conserve energy
but come curl up
right here
on the screen
and quit your
crying
You're not really
one of us
are you?
