I Will Light You on Fire

And I can't just sit here thinking
 "My fleet is sinking,
 Make room at the bottom of the sea"
 Or, "Don't upset the wealthy,
 It's unhealthy,"
 Everyone has a price, Sometimes I have two
 And if I lack point or purpose
 On the surface
 It's only 'cause I was trying to fit in
 And some years are uneventful
 Inconsequential
 And some years I don't show up at all
 And I will build a wall to watch it tilting
 Knock it over, start rebuilding
 Just to keep from wasting time
 Salute the march of the newly peaceful
 From the mine shaft to the steeple
 To the courthouse and back again
 Why don't you don't I join the protest
 I'm still asleep, you're not impressed
 And we'd be better off uninvolved
 Oh come on, come on tell me something
 Sell me something or I'm jumping
 And I cannot live that way for long
 And you know this requires discussion
 Or preferably, a concussion
 Why can't we talk about something good?
