Listen to Dramatically Grammatical by Richard Charles Stevens (Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This Suite Before)

Listen to Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before by The Smiths

we live as we learn
isn’t that what they say
how many amongst us
can honestly claim
to have made our mistakes
taken trial with each error
used this to refuel
made our lives any better
.
far more easy it seems
to unstitch our own seams
take a fumbling tumble from balancing beams
each one which we take for the team tallies up
until numbers are downright obscene
so you see
what use is foresight
with no reason to make yourself seen
.
fail again and again
over time it’s expected
each harsh lesson taught
shall remain uncontested
cry wolf with conviction
too little too late
as the rules clearly state
thou shalt not feel protected
it’s defective
irrespective of hearing selective
as it’s meant to be preventative
and doesn’t respect this
.
inspect it very closely
you may spot an algorithm
but you’ll need to zone right in as this is some way from a given
certain brains can be forgiven
for their mundane indecision
to someday locate precision
skip tradition
hit the target
such permission will be granted
if we learn of this division
fuck the schism
go our own way
have our own say
our own vision
isn’t that why eyes are prizes
or has blind faith compromised this
is each leap we take
a crash and burn
if so can’t we revise this
not that we don’t love surprises
just not the kind that sting us
chip away enamel to the fabric deep within us
make us question each suggestion
make a mention of unmentionables
subscribe to a whole mindset
which it must be said is questionable
it’s less than cool to fall from grace
inevitable we’ll be replaced
as all we are is rats to race
no longer keeping up to pace
.
turn and face our demons
and we can chase said demons
choose to embrace said demons
or lay to waste said demons
.
turn and face our demons
and we can chase said demons
choose to embrace said demons
or lay to waste said demons
.
don’t take a great deal of scheming
once we suss out the schematics
don’t wish to be pedantic
but i’m done with staying static
interference problematic
once i choose to be pragmatic
as it may be undramatic
but it’s also unromantic
.
i’m dramatically grammatical
could say verging fanatical
my methods may be radical
but take things geographical
long since done with matters pressing
while it’s been quaint convalescing
now i get to the addressing
no disguises to my blessing
as the views that i’m expressing
are in tune with smooth progression
to a place we can escape the great depression
.
turn and face our demons
and we can chase said demons
choose to embrace said demons
or lay to waste said demons
.
turn and face our demons
and we can chase said demons
choose to embrace said demons
or lay to waste said demons
.
turn and face our demons
and we can chase said demons
choose to embrace said demons
or lay to waste said demons
.
