You get yer hands up baby girl yare
an outlaw like me Right
Yes, grampa.
they highfived
he provoked her he put his hand up
in all fairness -- because he should be -- shes five
in all fairness -- because he should be -- shes five
his daughter was upset
she
was stewing
he could appreciate her anger it wasnt
misplaced
he crossed her
he willingly broke the law
You gonna give me an opportunity
to explain myself
Pretty cut an dry, dad.
You think carseats are cut and dry
The law requires them.
The law
that made the law says theyre required
No matter, dad. It’s the law.
Its the law that held hands with
manufacturers to create a market that didnt exist Then they put their hands out and profited off
their legislation I take issue when laws wrappedup an bowtied pretty are touted rahrahed sold to people that it was the laws concern for the peoples safetytheir safety their security
Politicians are concerned for their
security their safety
The situations are never reciprocal
They think they deserve their dueNOW
fuckin
short timersshort term thinkers who believe theyre due the whole enchilada that
the rest of the country punches timecards dayin dayout the whole of their lives
while tryin their damnedest to keep their heads above water endurin new onslaughts
the law hurls at em heaves at em throwinem off step throwinem for a loop while bitchinem
accusinem that their circumstances are their faults
Progress
When I was growing up
there werent seat belts in carsI remember helping your grandfather install them in cars as
part of an outreach through the Jaycees a young man organisation an
organisation that kicked him out when he turned thirty as were their bylaws as if
thirty he wasnt a uoung man any longer or had anything to offer Horseshit
Long story short Laws are made to profit lawmakers
If theres nothing in it for them
they aint gonna have it
That’s a dark way of looking at
things that save peoples lives.
Enrich people Dont you dare take that out of the equation
Theres money in keeping people
alive
Im waiting for the blatant law
that outlaws death
Jesus, dad! That’s a terrible way
to think.
But you admit Im thinking
Youre always thinking.
I am I think for myself I dont need commentators at the end of a speech
to tell me what I just heard a waste of time Then its rethreaded and rethreaded and rethreaded I can appreciate they want you to hear
it Once Otherwise its redux like this Fake President uses at his rallies
I understand. But the girls have
to know riding in a car without a carseat is wrong.
You dont think they know that Theyve been bound every day of their lives It isnt natural to them if theyre not
Its something queer to me yet natural
to them
Schools ringed in fences rimmed
with razorwire for their safety
Sorry baby Maybe its not queer to you or them but its
queer it offends me
