    You Go Girl

    by: Michael Grepp

    What do you say to the people of the world?
    To the sick, to the sad, and the starving?
    So many would say look the misery unfurls, it's just endless rats and
    scarring.
    But I digress, I know we've got it lucky girl, but you look like you could
    use some feeding!
    So here, ingest some angst from my world,
    and we'll retard what you're repeating.
    You didn't act you just tried
    so communicate this time
    its a fear between you and I
    because you're insecure and you lie
    face the facts and wake up
    facts the facts so we'll make up
    or fuck it for nothing perfect
    because nothing is worth this
    and when you settle for something worse
    I'll just go forwards you go reverse
    I'll make sure to point out that I hope he got to the point
    and took it out on you
    out on me
    out for everyone to see
    how short of a relation
    but the length doesn't matter in self gratification
    and when you settle for something less
    I'll be the first to confess
    that hey she could do so much better
    but its okay because daddy let her
    I have no facts, girl I just lied, the nomenclature of our time
    He'll call you maybe, on the phone,
    and ease your problems, and text your woes
    you'll fold these problems
    and crease these woes
    he'll say enough to take off your clothes
    its just whats expected
    because why of this would you be a suspect?
    and when you settle for something worse
    I'll just go forwards you go reverse
    I'll make sure to point out that I hope he got to the point
    and took it out on you
    out on me
    out on everyone to see
    just how short of a relation
