Confessions of a futon-revolutionist.
The Weakerthans

Held like water in your shaking hands

Are all the small defeats a day demands

10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive

Never knowing what survival means

Leave the apartment to buy alcohol

Hang our diplomas on the bathroom wall

Pick at the plaster chipped away

Survey some stunning tooth decay

Enlist the cat in the impending class-war

Lets lay our bad day down here, dear

Lets make-believe were strong

Or hum some protest song

Like maybe We Shall Overcome Someday

Overcome the stupid things we say

Say, I needed more than this

Say I needed one more kiss

We left that light on way too long

Lets plant a bomb at city-hall

Lets kill a member of the Legislative Assembly

Or talk the night away

You call in sick, Ill quit the word-games that I play

I swear I way more than half, believe it when I say

That somewhere love and justice shine

Cynicism falls asleep

Tyranny talks to itself

Sappy slogans all come true

We forget to feed our fear
