I’m goanna get my
fifteen minutes of fame
you caused it
You made me
you’re to blame
I’m
a free man
just like you
a
C I T I Z E N
grazing like sheep
eaten by wolves
living by the sword
dying by my
own
blade
who am I?
look around…
I’m everywhere
and nowhere
doin’ just fine
at your local
bar
and five
and dime
I’m
in traffic
buying
stamps
at the
town
post office
standing in line
in front of you
an unknown face
in the crowd
pushing
from
behind
shouting out loud
wherever you look
I’m in your face
in back of your mind
changing the pace
I’m your neighbor
gardener
corner cook
educated
voter
read a thousand books
got my degree
you were lazy
your mind
got hazy
thought it didn’t
matter
(you rested on your laurels!)
I stole
your rights
(remember, you handed them over to me?)
on a
silver
platter
while you were
sleeping
we tore it
down
get used to me
the reins of
power
are now
in my hands
this great
land
will never
be
the
same
on nightly
news
fifteen minutes of fame
