If you are gonna run
now is a good place to start
before you get some kind of feeling
or feel something in the heart
hey these days women can do it just like men
display for the display and getting in on the lay
but in all that is to be seen
does anyone ever touch and does anyone ever see
gettin laid for gettin laid getting sun for one lat ray
well if you’re not gonna stay
now is a good place to run
people do it all the time
ain’t got time nobody has the time
and time runs out and wells run dry
better run before you’ve got no time
and we talk a deal about repression and fear
and we talk a deal about oppression repression or depression
all the masks of ways we get ourselves out of feeling
can’t take that time to touch and see
see and feel anything
anything
so much skin in our vision we dont even see it anymore
so much laughing about love we don’t even feel it anymore
it’s progress you know
progress you know
and all the time we waste trying to get to next place
gotta have something to fight
and something till
and the definitions keep changing
no one knows when they are in prison
when they just want to their rights to the key
talking about the better places you never even seen
so no one recognizes when they are already free
just victimize they’re own space
waking up alone
and nowhere to belong
and need is such a bad word
cut off from the other
callous to the strengths that make us we
and vulnerabilities that never had the strength to be heard
robot women made their own stepford life
dressing and killing for each other
and the men just died
it was progress
just progress
of the stillborn life
