Twisting the Lasso of Truth

fite goddamnit stand up and fite
give me your reasons aside from your fatigue
from being busy all day with slipping past the competition
give me your reasons aside from your fatigue
from being busy with the girl scouts
and saving the whales online
fight goddamnit stand up and fight
maybe you’re tensioned
tighter than brooklyn bridges' pigtails and pullstraps
to do something different
maybe you’re waiting for instruction
i think you’re jealous
of all the others who afford to behave their tails in time
fight goddamnit stand up and fight for me
