THE NEW PEOPLE
Short people that speak fast
in cut-up speech they manage more words
in one person/tense
to complete a sentence, not feel alone.
Short people in a big family
with little kids and an old lady
not from here, from a far away land
maybe a big plane will take them back.
And the faces, different eyes
to get a "high" and at the end to lead
from the hit, breaking the hand
not sad,
two weeks army leave can be nice.
For pretty soldiers that don't move
to a colder place underground
not from here, from a far away land
maybe a big plane will take them back.
And if it's us two and we're ok for now
speak slowly, I'm listening, I care
when the smallest is also the loudest
and the smartest is also the dumbest.
If you believe in a greater being
then it will give you
your life as a gift.
And you'll connect to high worlds
and discover good people on the way
and life is part of a second
maybe a draft will bring you back.
This is no place for a little girl
whose parents got fed up
and swapped countries
the "green$" burns his hand
he's got a ton of money but he's still alone
he enjoys good art
and half-alive foods, a pretty girl
when will you get it -
it's not the "rustlings"
that will turn you into the new people.
