'Well do you think that it is art?'
(I don't really know what it is,)
is not a question to define.
(but I think that I don't need someone to say how to feel)
Though we can't see it free and clear,
(because I feel that I can make it into something it is)
someone will say how much it costs.
(if I concentrate and move around my chance to complain).
I think you have to write although nobody may buy it.
I think you still must play even if you are alone to practice.
You can fuck machine for rhythmic pulse without assistance.
You can make it rhyme and garner wage, no prostitution.
It's real publication.
'Well do you think that it is art?'
(I don't really know what it is,)
is not a question to define.
(but I think that I don't need someone to say how to feel)
Though we can't see it free and clear,
(because I feel that I can make it into something it is)
someone will say how much it costs.
(if I concentrate and move around my chance to complain).
It's not that I can't do the math,
it's just that it bores me all to hell.
I do not understand how you can say
Steinbeck is worth $14.99 and Quindlen $6 or $7.80,
keep my total hours at 39, protect the profits.
Secure the market.
Hope for Rocket E and MP3 already waning,
corporate higher-ups are tweaking knobs
to try and squeeze out every ounce of work that I can give
for Star Wars promo--Episode 11--but this time,
there is no movie, only new products.
'Well do you think that it is art?'
(I don't really know what it is,)
is not a question to define.
(but I think that I don't need someone to say how to feel)
Though we can't see it free and clear,
(because I feel that I can make it into something it is)
someone will say how much it costs.
(if I concentrate and move around my chance to complain).
Well do you think that I am done now,
(I don't really know what it is,)
you should've seen me, I was done before.
(but I think that I don't need someone to say how to feel)
My labor value's on the move down,
(because I feel that I can make it into something it is)
but I'll get jabs in with the false face-out.
(if I concentrate and move around my chance to complain).
