I don’t care.

Massive unemployment.
Can’t pay the rent.
A feeling that we all might share.
I don’t care.

I’m a 90’s reject.
I’m the usual suspect.
I’m a man on the run.
And I’m still having fun.
I’m keeping pace.
First place in the I don’t care race.

Still getting drunk.
Social welfare slam dunk.
Ain’t got any baggage.
Too poor to have afforded a mortgage.
And thank fuck for that.
I’m still at where its at.

I’ll see you at the bar.
Smiling from afar.
Its nice to share.
I don’t care.

American foreign policy.

Ever since world war two,
The planet is turned by an American screw.
Churning out your version of democracy.
An evil bureaucracy rife with hypocrisy.
What can an ordinary person do?

They get you one way or the other.
Have the planet on a skewer.
Cold war, Korea, Vietnam.
Follow history but don’t understand.
Unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.
Absolutely no respect for our fellow man.
What about the shame that is Palestine Israel?
Trade deals and embargoes that bring utter hell.

But the high tide mark has come and gone.
We are on to the American loaded gun.
You are aware of our dignified existence.
For we are united in our resistance.

They locked up my Dad.

The year was 1971.
Northern Ireland was far from fun.
Catholics were denied civil rights.
Many people decided to fight.
The army came for Dad one night.
A supposed member of the republican jihad.
The British government locked up my Dad.

To the H-Blocks or even Long Kesh.
A life behind concrete and wire mesh.
No judge or jury, only corrupt government.
That led to my Dad’s internment.

Did they treat you rough Dad?
Did they feed you properly Dad?
Did you miss my mum Dad?
Did you miss your family Dad?
These questions I asked him as he lay dying in his bed.
Answers to these questions he would not shed.
Such a man, so strong, so brave.
He took it all with him to the grave.

William Wanksock.

Packs of five, wooly, striped, toes like a glove.
Searching through the pile for the one that you love.
Under the bed, stuck to the shelf.
Your about to have sex with yourself.

Chain-smoking, overweight, sweaty spectacle.
Tearing up the gaff for your favorite receptacle.
3 and a half billion women do not flock,
To the house of William Wanksock.

The C.I.A. stole my underwear.

The suits they do stare,
Much more than I can bear.
This fucking shit ain’t fair.
They were my best pair.
The C.I.A. stole my underwear.

Those boxers made me a goer.
Must of thought I was a whistle-blower.
Bringing me such pain.
Life-force starting to drain.
One thought however makes me smile.
Is them smelling my piss,
And possibly downloading this.
