merry-go-round

revolution is just spin.  it isn't about people changing the system, it's about convincing the people that the very same system would somehow be better if different thugs were in charge.

we can't afford politicians anymore. they're too expensive

voting is like...
it's like
flipping a coin
a nickel, say
and hoping
it comes up
a quarter
(april, 2013)

voting never did much of anything but convince the public that we might actually have some say in what the government does in our name.

a round dylan

cheat 'til you win
make new rules
change the story
as you go along
don't get caught
deny everything

(something is happening)
what's a sweetheart like you
(but you don't know what it is)
doin' in a place like this?
(do you, mister jones?)

and the words that are used
(my pathway led)
to get the ship confused
(by confusion boats)
will not be understood
(mutiny from stern to bow)
as they're spoken
(but i was so much older then)
