Be True

Leak the message out in text
 Once a year for practice
 The hills have turned to green again
 So knock back a round or six
 And fix
 The exaggerated chapters
 That missed the calls for months
 The novelty of the nation
 Gather "privately" for all on screens
 Shade the heat by the trees
 Tall cans, the DJ, girls with their skin sweet
 Frolic by sprinklers spraying
 Multihued patterned streams
 Soon the coal will char the steel
 Convey heat to compressed bodies
 To beat the meat they eat
 Under pressured jaws and teeth
 Of the city's "high elite"
 Be true
 It's the family reunion
 All the kids have gathered
 To celebrate today and say
 Farewell to one more year
 Ciao to the emerging time
 To hugs and to handshakes
 They'll drink it all away
 Catch Up with Ketchup
 And rekindle broken ties
 Of lives in lies and lines of times that fly
 Trying too hard to be sliced from the same hind
 A rendezvous location
 Gives a pair some time to work
 And create the setting for seeds
 To feed the crop of weeds
 Exchanges interrupted
 By wondering eyes on call
 To see and be seen here
 Its the currency machine
 To pay your monthly fee to
 Be true
 It's the family reunion
 All the kids have gathered
 To celebrate today and say
 Farewell to one more year
 Ciao to the emerging time
 To hugs and to handshakes
 They'll drink it all away
 As the day's DJ spins his final tune
 The cork flies out the thin bottled neck
 Success in the sale of consent is blessed
 By them the muses who think they're here to save the west
 Be true
 It's the family reunion
 All the kids have gathered
 To celebrate today and say
 Farewell to one more year
 Ciao to the emerging time
 To hugs and to handshakes
 They'll drink it all away
