Our strike would last a whole ten days
Not knowing for sure
But in my best estimations
My wife is sick of being an adult
She would like to be a kid again instead
Tax preperations are added to a growing pile
Shit we don't take care of until we have to
I say, if one of us is reverting then we both must go
Because one adult would be a bitter pill
And I don't want to fuck a child
That's not to say that I don't understand
I was a child once too
Wasn't I
I don't want to go to work either
And maybe it's a lack of imagination
But I don't see any other way
Somewhere on a farm
A child wants to grow up and be me
Working in Manhattan for decent pay
Riding the subways
Married to a Rockette
A real live working stiff
It's always the grey fuzzies that get in the way
(Back pain eye strain slow train migraine)
A list of working man woes
That sound awfully childish
When positioned face to face
With flies in the eyes
Or being lost in a diamond mine
Or just burried alive
Because it's cheaper than bringing you
Back to the top
Being that child wouldn't be very fun
That's when fairytales of being raised by wolves
Sounds awfully good
And maybe happier than us
(at times, of course, as to mind the grey fuzzies)
With our plastic bags and trash days
Hangnails and flat tires
And we sleep with the wolves
Even make their beds
And let them raise these fairytale children
For oil money
And diamond money
And GOLD!
I don't know if I could support my family
(Without the machines)
Would you let nature decide how much you could
(CONSUME)
Eat sleep breathe shiver fuck
When I was a kid I wanted to be Quincy
But what I realize now
Is that I wanted to be something like Quincy
Only I don't know what that something was
And I'm baffled over what it might be
But it certainly wasn't old
Carrying the scent of iron and moth balls and Brut
Into the twenty-first century
Like some walking time capsule
I suppose what I'd really like to be
Is more of a walking timeless capsule
And my wife would like to be the younger model
Would this make us happy
Probably not
But without the grey fuzzies it sure sounds good
