calculate, cultivate, relegate and chalk it up to the basic needs
dissipate, isolate, these days you can't run or believe all that you read
and all the kids with the down low brainwaves
holding up signs saying "guns kill, god saves"
and all in the form of the faceless newscast
commercials that say live well but die fast
even if you wanted to, even if you could
you can't say no
consummate keepers of many left wondering
desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway
obstinate eaters of organized ignorance
making up rules for the mute and the willing
but all the kids that are raised in the freefall
and from silence in a pacified strip mall
they pay the wage with their dollars of gravity
on the bedside, oh my conscience costing me
even if you wanted to, even if you could
you can't say no
