Destroy the Children - Dick Valentine

So what have we learned

From this life they made us do?

I wasted all my time

On loving you

They lined us up

And paired off in twos

Laughing that they pulled off

This elaborate ruse

You control the world

When you control the news

And we refuse to choose

Leaving us no choice but to…

Destroy the children

Before they are the masters

Dressing in monkey suits

And causing their own disasters

And please

Make sure they suffer dearly

Because I don’t suffer fools

Unless I state this more clearly

So what do we do

When we live and we don’t learn

We throw our hearts in a fire

And watch them burn

They line us up

To wait here for our turn

For congrue with a taste

We can discern

You’re never found guilty

If courts never adjourn

And let’s use all of that money

We never earn to…

Destroy the children

Before they have the answer

And replace the singer-songwriter with

Autotune dancers

And please

Make sure they learn their lesson

Because it’s clear they don’t know

With whom they are messing

And before you cast me as the dunce

I am well aware I was a child once

With a destiny only ambition hunts

All you gentlemen are such royal cunts

Draw like mars

To impossible stunts of love

So what do we do

When learned how to live

We give back all of the advice

We were too young to give

Dress our love up

With many an expletive

And pouring all of our love

Through a rusty sieve as we…

Destroy the children

Before they destroy each other

And imprison Lindsay Lohan

Before she becomes a mother

And please

Like she’s the virgin Mary

Polluting our souls

With Hollywood dysentery
