Plan B

Honestly, why the hell are you standing there
And what the hell are you waiting for?
Your expectant smile is starting to get on my nerves
So tell me now, if you’re so fucking rationalist
So ruthlessly atheist, why the fuck are you a positivist? It doesn’t work
Because honestly, if you ignore the terminology
Mainstream political philosophy grew out of Christian teleology
Despite the claims on the packaging, all the liberals and the communists,
all the people making promises, are pigs to a man and their premises are all
the same
Everything is getting worse
Which hardly comes as a surprise —
No one guaranteed anything else
So dry your eyes and pull yourself together
Because things will keep on getting worse
The guys in white will never win
And I doubt we’ll ever heal the world
But we can begin by learning how to deal with
The conflicts that arise between us, instead of pretending they’ll go away
It’s better to light a candle than to fantasize about a sun
