Reptilians - The Modern Harrison Bergeron

Such a day for a waif and a stray such as I to meet a woman of a certain age
Coquettish stance and the clink of a glass and a request to stay
So I obliged and I lied and I feigned and I strained to be an arbiter of modern man
Then the bastion of business and miscreance darkened my hand
You said you wanted liberty
It makes you feel alive
With a bag of birdshot round your neck and arrow in your side
Four square screens of static
You’ve paid to be subscribed
Leaving the destination
Before you have arrived
Your masculinity is troubling, and it’s really not your place to yell
Then I cried and I died in her arms in a budget hotel
She said before I can learn to love you, you need to learn to love yourself
So I discovered narcissism and the wisdom that I need no-one else
You said you wanted liberty
It makes you feel alive
With a bag of birdshot round your neck and arrow in your side
Four square screens of static
You’ve paid to be subscribed
Leaving the destination
Before you have arrived
