Subject: only the good die young

only the good die young 
the bad are left to grow old and rot 
i am rotting 
 
old people should be killed 
they're in the way 
they're useless 
 
their flesh tastes bad 
they're shapeless skin and bones 
or layers of ugly fat 
 
their minds are dead 
their minds are waiting 
for their bodies to catch up 
 
old men are our past 
the young are our future 
grandmothers = carriers of wisdom 
 
cart them off 
cart them all off 
they burn fast in the furnaces 
 
the eskimo left them on the ice 
the jews buried them alive 
the christians yoked them 
 
buddhists trample their necks 
confucians spit on their altars 
the muslims cut off their heads 
 
b! elieve what you want 
someone cut off their heads 
someone trampled them 
 
old people have nothing to say 
their ideas are like deSotos 
that's a car we all used to drive 
 
take their cars and belongings 
divide them up take them apart 
memories are made for crashing 
 
look at the old man 
push him down the hill 
he can't think when he's falling 
 
he can't think when he's standing 
when he's standing he's falling 
he's always falling when he's standing 
 
i wake up and hope you'll kill me 
i'm useless and can't think a thought 
or this is the thought i think 
 
when i'm permitted to think 
when you've maybe read this far 
 
i'll leave this line alone
