Graphite

By Indi Riverflow | November 19, 2011

Hollywood’s gone awful green these days
To listen to all the stars
They sure are busy recycling scripts
While blowing up all those cars

If they ever figured out alchemy’s trick
My, how the price of lead would rise
They’d be yanking out ancient plumbing
Scraping graphite from the dots of I’s

{Chorus}
Might say I’m too cynical
Even claim that it’s inimical
Buddha laughs at the rabbinical
Hard to keep my thoughts pure
When no one is really sure
If any of this matters
And if so, to whom

They say that I should abide the law
Not sure I get the point
Of laws that have me waylaid by bandits
And stuck in jail for a joint

We’re supposed to all feel terrorized
Let them rifle through our rights
What really causes me insecurity
Is getting groped to catch a flight

{Chorus}

And it’s the greatest emergency
If the bankers don’t get paid
The sky will tumble upon us all
If their bonuses are delayed

Talk about conspiracies
And they’ll label you confused
Everyone’s got a conspiracy theory
The official story
Masquerading as news
Only question is whose
Crazy theory you choose

{Chorus}

Does any of this matter
And if so, to whom?
If so, to whom?
