Glitterless philosophies
Seep into our culture
Litterless pathologies
Kill us all through boredom
[Yawn]
[We need]
Restoration of painful fun
Exposure to the burning sun
Unbridled outrageousness
Massive doses of frivolity
To repair our frontal lobotomy
These psychotropic drugs
Those philanthropic thugs
They pull the wool over our eyes
While we’re herded like sheep
Never heard
[Don’t make a peep]
Words like anarchy gain meaning
[Knock the dust off of those books]
We need a bit of domestic disturbance
To redefine freedom, peace, and tranquility
Restore our civility
Unleashed from corporate greed
And step around the corner from government scrutiny
[Taxes are theft]

Notes:
A manifesto against conformity, sedation, and institutional control. A call to reclaim vitality.
The prescribed antidote of difficulty, spontaneity, absurdity, and genuine experience.
