LYRICS:<\/strong>
\nI second that.
\nWe always have a poem in progress. Yeah\u2026It was nice.
\nI always picture the little skinny guy at the door handing out feathers.
\nSinnin’. (laughs).
\nVomitoriums<\/a>, that was pretty cool, hygiene was terrible but\u2026<\/p>\n

They don’t know how to show up, so\u2026
\nThey don’t know how to show up, so\u2026<\/p>\n

I thought it was interesting that one of the
\nstrategies a teacher suggested was
\nfor students to hold their textbooks up in front of their faces.<\/p>\n

There was blood smeared all the way down the hall, right?
\nSo somebody got stabbed in the park during the night
\nand all I can imagine is the guy or whoever was
\npounding on people’s doors to get some help
\nbut nobody helped him<\/p>\n

It was like, Biblically wrong to him somehow
\nthat I tasted his blood.<\/p>\n

\u2026out of state,
\nusually they’re drug mules
\nThey’re lookin’ at federal time, most of ’em.
\nThe amount of drug-related offenses here
\nI would say it’s probably 75% of the total jail.<\/p>\n

…can be paying for places like Massachusetts
\nto be warehousing the prisoners here<\/p>\n

Nice catch!
\nyou said “We\u2026.I mean the state of Maine\u2026”<\/p>\n

That language is important though.
\nYou know, when people say “We\u2026” like
\n“Oh, WE need to pull our troops back from Syria.”
\nWell, yea, they need to be pulled back,
\nbut they’re not our troops.<\/p>\n

And a lot of people in society have this collectivist attitude
\nway back in public school like the turn of the century
\nlike punishing the whole class for something one kid did<\/p>\n

That’s how people feel about society
\nand they train you say things like that,
\nto use language, and it’s so
\neffortless to so many people.<\/p>\n

And you think about the people that enable them.
\nThe whole thing that was going through my mind was
\n“Where’s the authentic feedback?”<\/p>\n

If everyone just gotten up and walked
\nout of the coliseum after he wrecked his chariot the first time
\nand laughed at him and threw their tickets up in the air
\nin disgust,
\nthe outcome coulda been totally different.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTES:<\/strong>
\nThis chord progression is the chords from “The Last Shaman” played backwards, then altered, by raising the middle note or notes in the chord by two semi-tones.<\/p>\n

Most people would never recognize this song as related to that song in any way. I wanted to try that as an experiment, and I’m happy with the results.<\/p>\n

The words are pulled out of context from two different Freedom Feens radio episodes that Phil Wormuth and I did.<\/p>\n
