You Are a Knob

political aspirations have never been
that high on your list
your minimal contributions are enough
to win the smiles of some
if your self made institutions are
not enough to save your face
then maybe you will be around
for the next punk rock band from the States
You are a knob
it’s your together disposition
can’t cover your lack of conviction
it’s easy to be funny when
the jokes are all you’ve got
and if you year old contradictions
are not enough to bring you down
then maybe you will be around
to write another fucking song
about vivisection
You are a knob
I see your face in the crowd,
stand up proud
I cry out loud… you are a knob
it’s your conceited propositions
why don’t you let me count the reasons
it’s difficult to swallow when
your mouth is so clamped shut and
if day old contributions are not enough
to break your back
then maybe you will be around
to witness what you have and what you lack
