Deterred

from 1994 by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

Say what you want
Eat every word
Write what you like
They’ll not be deterred
Petulant baby getting your way
Stroking the self on President’s day
Board of graffiti room with a view
Telephone wires ragged and strewn
Car in the pool make sure that it rhymes
Helpless and desperate sign of the times
Coat made of sugar held in contempt
Suck the sarcasm you won’t be exempt
Cast your aspersions vision is blurred
Ignorant versions will not be deterred

Cherish your critics fake your concern
Bury your artists envy to burn
Dangle the carrot tempt with applause
Thanks but no thanks opinions are jaws
Bored and confused bad poetry
Ideas are for losers shepherds asleep
Proceed with the trial twist in the chair
Stake out the witches medium rare

Pointing of fingers lock stock and barrel
Bating the heretic on his arrival
Holiday slacker high on the drama
Cringe every line you heard ‘bout your mama
Dressing you funny man we was hurting
Genius is money talent is burden
Exorcise demons before they consume you

Drive of your passion leave of your senses
Squeeze your advices ease your defenses
Peel off your clothing swallow a spoonful
Real fear and loathing you’ve got a roomful
Hurting so badly can’t elevate
Want to be loved so much that you hate
