getting in line

Post by saw » January 19th, 2011, 10:30 am

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 ?
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

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.
