Pippy would not lie to you...So you know her words are true.


You have complicated your world
in such a way that freedom is all elusive
perhaps even unlikely
impossible, improbable
Your world would further bind me
I do not wish a life on the lam
I do not wish another man
whose ex cannot/will not let go
Been there, done that
end of that show...
You may be willing
excited and ready
to latch onto pippie
a symbol of steady
and free as she
may seem to be
Is locked away
in her own tower
of psyche
we think too much
when we're alone
and our thoughts become
our home
home to worry
home to hope
home to beseaching
the gods to release
us from our self imposed cells
but only you can free yourself
Turn yourself in
make arrangements
to pay your dues
Moral values at what cost?
I know it doesn't seem right
or just to bust your trust
to pay the undeserving
who will reduce it to dust
but you must
find a way to free
yourself from this prison
which chases you down
keeps you away
From the holy land in Pa
Freedom is the most precious
feeling known to man
Just ask Naz's resident biker
Scott Slingerland...
He'll tell you ShriLankans
Get their water from a tower
Preservation means sacrifice
rationing your showers
You sacrifice daily
your freedom--for what?
For principal which no corporation
will back you on
no Indian nation
will rise up for the homeless
the soapboxing is a waste
of your precious breath
if there's no one to listen
They all turn a deaf
ear
Don't rock the boat
or that'll be you by next year
In that cardboard box
In the alley way
With the dumpster
your bounty
as they sit pretty in their tower
and get paid ridiculous amounts of cash
to waste away the hours
Unless you can assemble
a righteous parade
to demonstrate and inform
to raise a proverbial stench
that will burn
in their corporate nostrils
You are singing to the choir
of the church of
don't wanna get involved...
Pippy would not lie to you
So you know her words
are true
and though you both
sing the blues
Your shade is
a darker hue
so what are you
gonna do?
