In a bowl beneath Kowalsky's masks
Decay and decoration
Asking what art does
Trip us into a false sense
Of security about the real
Or undermine our base beliefs
And what it means to feel
Seeing the young waddle past
Drunk, angry, unfulfilled
What do they create?
Building their own night
With noise and hope
Avant-garde bands, alcohol and dope
Manufacturing dissent
In sweat shops like cheap suits
Note: registration is not required
Together we watch the fruit rot
And find it more stimulating than TV
Can't afford the gas bill,
Can't afford the pay channel
Might as well watch citrus decay
For in the end it's easier than to be
