*** (Do The) Post-Modernist Ska ***
Who dare stare down honesty
from such a grand peak as my soap box?
Pointless pride a commodity
twitching grins and a nervous laugh
Dragnet clumsy romantic thought
dissolves underneath a boring tongue
pupils wide with very little inside
friendships bond over dying kegs
So what hangs on your walls
when they start to breathe?
or is your notion of shit and puke
some retro dance that's the thing to do?
libation loosens thought
small talk undressing strangers
coitus next, run out of things to say
with an empty kiss, a breach of trust
erotica lost, a beer soaked thrust
forgetting names then loosing count
apathetic consent, a flaccid mount
is all you know of passion and lust
Is this your excuse for watered down come
try to fuck your friends when you have none
media molded tact and reason
a different disease for every season
So do you know how to laugh?
Do you know how to scream?
How about a lethal suggestion
aimed at a deadbeat generation?
(I say) We gonna need a drink of elixir
that's considerably stronger than beer
and if we're gonna dance without direction
Let us dance until we die!
so bop and ska and jive and jump
go-go jissom twist, an orgasmic bump
so jump and jive and ska and bop
try a junky swing, a heroin hop
so jive and jump and bop and ska
it's a Burroughs town, loose the prudish frown
so ska and bop and jump and jive
it's amazing that were still alive...
So: Bop, and Ska, and Jive, and Jump (chant)
