AN ANTHEM FOR THE POLITICAL, THE STRAIGHT EDGE, AND THE HEARTBROKEN This world is f**ked up A war is being fought for quote un-quote peace Our children are our future Our future just OD’d They chose to flirt with death As a way to flirt with each other They’ll take a bullet for a high After shooting their own mother When it comes to society, I can read the news When it comes to her, I don’t have a clue Sing it! We’re too smart to fight his war (fight his war) We’re too smart to fire a gun (fire a gun) We’re too smart to poison ourselves (kill ourselves) We’re dumb enough to fall in love My visions never been impaired Cause I always love to see her smile 4 more years in distress ‘Cause of pro-life, homophobes in Ohio I won’t make it to your keg party I’ve got better things to do Like marching in the protest Wondering if she’s thinking of me, too This is a song for the kids not afraid of politics And who know, when it comes to love, we don’t know shit Sing it! We’re too smart to fight his war (fight his war) We’re too smart to fire a gun (fire a gun) We’re too smart to poison ourselves (kill ourselves) We’re dumb enough to fall in love We’re too smart to fight his war (fight his war) We’re too smart to fire a gun (fire a gun) We’re too smart to poison ourselves (kill ourselves) We’re dumb enough to fall in love (interlude) We shall overcome We shall overcome With this song sung From the bottom of our hearts to the top of our lungs We’re too smart to fight his war (fight his war) We’re too smart to fire a gun (fire a gun) We’re too smart to poison ourselves (kill ourselves) We’re dumb enough to fall in love X4 (Repeats/fade out) |

This is a really amazing poem, and if I hear it, would probably be a great song.
The lyrics were really impelling, and I like how you fit in politics, morals, and love all in one poem. I think my favorite thing about this work though, besides the great lyrics, is the way it sounds so personal. To be specific it was this verse: QUOTE My visions never been impaired Cause I always love to see her smile 4 more years in distress ‘Cause of pro-life, homophobes in Ohio I won’t make it to your keg party I’ve got better things to do Like marching in the protest Wondering if she’s thinking of me, too Indeed, those damn pro-life homophobes in Ohio. Well actually, I'm pretty torn between the whole pro-life issue, but that's another topic for another thread. Overall, I just really enjoyed this song, and wanted to leave you a worthwhile review. Mucho love, Alyson |

QUOTE(Kathleen @ Apr 12 2005, 3:39 PM) I really like how you incorporated everything you believe in within it.  Agreed.  Very well done, and I agree with Kathleen completely. QUOTE My visions never been impaired Cause I always love to see her smile 4 more years in distress ‘Cause of pro-life, homophobes in Ohio I won’t make it to your keg party I’ve got better things to do Like marching in the protest Wondering if she’s thinking of me, too I loved that part. Wonderful job as always.
