Milledge Avenue

from What Kind of Pet Defines You? by Werewolves

lyrics

Run as fast as you can to let the driver know
you wanna get on the bus
At least at some level human communication
is still fairly clear to us

So many identical uniforms running along
with unfamilliar faces, you will never find one
You could possibly recognize so pretend every jogger
is on their first and last run

Why do they all remind you of "They Live?"
Clutching at slave-made personal devices
And trying to find a sense of praxis or agency
Well they should drop out of school
Maybe everyone should drop out of school

When from an aerial view it looks like ants on a farm
Ambling masses herded into carcerial roles
And emerging indebted and broken
The next generation of imperial assholes

Just like that man on the stage hurling sexist abuse
At the women in the crowd for a joke
He gets up the next day to teach political science
Well he can go fuck himself,
maybe all our teachers should get fucked

With the mayor and the ACCPD and
President Adams and the whole Walton family

Now you can't stay out too late gotta be up at 6
But hey it's something, at lest you're not stuck down in the
Mud and brick houses across from the towers of prestige
The residents will never see the inside of

And they know we'll never truly build neighbors
Til we own our houses and we've toured on the West Coast
We'll never figure out trust and forgiveness
We're too busy chasing imaginary carrots
And running in the same place like a hamster caught in a wheel
Well we should all quit our jobs
Maybe everyone should just quit their job

And by the time you get home it feels like being in love
While suffocating and trapped under a boulder
We shouldn't have to cut one of our limbs off
Let's move the revolutionary graffiti
Out of the bathrooms so to where they can't help but see it
Cuz if they ever finish that road that you walk down
From the place you were alive to the fields of Purgatory
They should call it "Milledge Avenue"
That would definitely be the right name for it
