when every 15 minutes, history is forgotten
warhol promised that one day we'd all get our 15 minutes of fame
he never mentioned that we'd be forgotten by the next day
we see terror in the eyes of people in distant lands
forgotten as soon as the 4 day forecast starts
we pity the man begging for cash on the street
but forget that the man we call leader helped put him there
political revolution doesn't make headlines, nude protestors do
only to disappear 2 days later into the ether
i want things to change just as much as you
but major change won't come until we see the other shoe
major change can't happen tonight, we'll miss a new episode of Friends
I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home. I know you're strong.
