getting in line

[saw]

too late
forget the higher education
I'll settle for just getting high
I''m too busy for dead languages

howz about a good corporate
vocational camp, I'm sure that's
the fast track, why else would
200 liberal arts schools go up in smoke

I ain't stupid you know
I ain't gonna bite the hand that feeds me
bullshit, it's actually not that bad
smothered in onions with some hot sauce

who needs french or spanish either
will they get you a job, carnegie and chase
were right, hungry people don't need humanities
hmmm, guess they need dead-end jobs

hey buddy, you wanna job, you'll need
to demonstrate a little respect, create a little
distance between your consciousness
and that dirty blue collar round your neck

wake up, do what you are told
when has morality ever cashed in ?

Mortality is always cashed in. The question is....How much is it worth?

"when has morality ever cashed in ?"

That's a good question.
Indeed morality may be cashed in Hollweg, but when has morality itself cashed in. How could it be morality if it did?
I really dug reading this Saw...incites a marvelous ponder.
