Punk rock kids,
Abortions
Of a birth they never agreed to,
Sacrifices to a god
They never believed in.
Original sin,
Hopelessness.
My best friend.
All clenched fists,
Punk rock kids.
My best friend,
In our skins,
Tied to the bumper,
Rammed into the wall
Again and again
For our honor
And ambitions.
Children of men.
Straw-thin wrists,
My best friend.
Children of men,
Raised in famine
Canaries in the mine
For the umpteenth time,
Bludgeoned by obligation,
Betrayed by kin.
Furitive eyes,
And elephant skin.
My best friend,
Punk rock kids,
Children of men.
