Backyard Politics

from Half-Ass Romance by Black Sparrow Press

	/

lyrics

I wasted all my wishes to make sure
that you don't get yours.
I wasted all my hope on you getting
what you deserve.
if you think that sounds bad, then
I've got a new backup plan;
start with a 3 day drinking binge
and 3 nights left following
me screaming out your name, just because.

I know that's something you don't want to hear.
what are you doing here, doing this to me?

and aren't you sick of getting all your ideas
and morales based upon the backyard politics
of hanging out, but never hanging on?
you never talked about leaving town
until I started hanging 'round.
you've got a train, you've got a bus,
fifty ways of getting lost.
i'll still scream out your name,
just because.

and all these scattered poems
just remind me of home.
