Forged - Josh Martinez, McEnroe

I’ve made things with clay and been covered with mud

I’ve seen men do miracles hands covered in blood

I’ve coveted much and been subjected to flood

I’ve been forged in fire and rejected as a dud

Lead the charge of the light brigade and sack the old city

I’m too young to be adjusted stuck in sudden self-pity

Everybody gets down i was sunk and feeling shitty

Decisions made regretted get vetoed by committee

And I’ve sworn off tofu, I eat meat and potatoes

And I’m into anarchism, feminism and landscaping

Men our mission is the system and our time’s a wasting

Just picking up the pieces and sticking up for feces

I don’t want to always get shit on, shower and shave

And find out fast the last thing I am is brave

I’ve killed a lot of time watching cable lately

The art of conversation interferes with cheers

You can’t make me, can’t make anyone do what they don’t wanna

Apathy is in, the medium is marijuana

Each one teach one, but never trust a preacher

The pope smokes dope so reach for the reefer

Why does every channel serve up a different sermon

I know I prefer my pulpit in the sewer with the vermin

I once went to church now I choose the Godfather

On DVD trilogy as the source of my divinity

And passed by the pope.

.with the end of the rope type thing

I bring a critical view to the pew

Cos too much starts up fiction like the taming of the shrew

And then gets misconstrued

So I snuck out of ???

for risk of being rude

Because the words were nonsense the pacing unbearable

So I don’t drive on sundays cause the traffic is terrible

I’ve got plenty of confidence I don’t need a leader

If you wonder what I worship then it’s at the movie theater

Admiring the off color humor of the Korn brothers

Loving Hitchkock… and many others

My devotion is deep like ???

disappointment in ???

And my mind’s manipulated like ???

But not by a pastor or minister

I manipulate the fast forward

As a method of confession adressing the sins of past years

Attempting to cleanse like an invention of ???

I’ve made things with clay and been covered with mud

I’ve seen men do miracles hands covered in blood

I’ve coveted much and been subjected to flood

I’ve been forged in fire and rejected as a dud
