"There's a language warning on this next tune, so turn your radios down if your offended by 'language' " JJJ Radio, general pre-track announcement Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Televisions across the land,
whisper conspiratorial plans
or keyboards played by lonely hands
the same old lonely tune
Spouses locked in loveless trysts,
teens linger at naked wrists,
the blue suits of the world twist,
out the same old lonely tune
Derelicts, so called, are walking,
thuggish dealers, darkly talking,
deals are made and some are balking,
at the same old lonely tune
When Monday comes, we'll all be driving
some will call in sick or skiving
all for Friday will be striving,
to hear the same old lonely tune
Take this jukebox, plainly fucked,
take these leaders, money plucked,
take our very lives, dumbstruck,
and change the god dimmed tune
I dream of days, when all are dancing,
the melancholy, lift to chanting
mandate: romance, all are panting,
on the day we change our tune.

Hello,
The frustration is not yours alone,
it seeps, puddling our very homes
it never stops, it's like we're owned
by the same old fucking tune.
we are in this together, the super rich
have rigged the deal, it's a global dilemma
not everyone can see.
thanks for posting, I may not always
comment but enjoy your smithing.
Thanks mate, wasn't expecting too much..
More a therapeutic rush of frustration, after a long day.
but thanks all the same, you're correct we are all in this together..
Chris.
No wonder...
so many people want to get off the grid! Guess we need something to take our minds off from the plague that is humanity! I know, let's all try to solve the world's problems! How about we tackle a few of the big problems first?
Over population: Limit our procreation
World hunger : Limit our population
Damn! I think we just solved the whole thing in one go!
I mean, think about it, fewer people means less pollution and need for mindless, banal entertainment, etc.~ Gee.
