Your Next Bold Move

Coming of age during the plague Of Reagan and Bush Watching capitalism gun down democracy It had this funny effect on me I guess I am cancer I am HIV And I'm down at the blue Jesus Blue cross hospital Just lookin' up from my pillow Feeling blessed And the mighty multinationals Have monopolized the oxygen So it's as easy as breathing For us all to participate Yes they're buying and selling Off shares of air And you know it's all around you But it's hard to point and say "there" So you just sit on your hands And quietly contemplate Your next bold move The next thing you're gonna need to prove To yourself What a waste of thumbs that are imposable To make machines that are disposable And sell them to seagulls flying in circles Around one big right wing Yes, the left wing was broken long ago By the slingshot of cointelpro And now it's so hard to have faith in Anything Especially your next bold move Or the next thing you're gonna need to prove To yourself You want to track each trickle Back to its source And then scream up the faucet 'til your face is hoarse Cause you're surrounded by a world's worth Of things you just can't excuse But you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker And you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker And it's getting colder and colder Every time you lose So go ahead Make your next bold move Tell us What's the next thing you're gonna need to prove To yourself
