This one's for the idiot that you chained down

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Their lips are cherry red and their eyes are bloodshot Their flattened minds limit them down to mainstream networks No one likes an idiot So you strapped them in and chained them down They'd never heard this law but it was enforced This one's for the idiot that you chained down This one's for the mind that you caged in This one's for the day when You won't fear the idiot as you do Their skin is pale and they're shaking from the cold Their simple ideas didn't put anyone in envy No one likes an idiot So you strapped them in and chained them down They're the ones who didn't move when the rain got heavy There are idiots on every corner of every street You can't chain them all down but you know you'll try They're standing in the hail and getting hit in the head And you're ten feet away getting out your handcuffs No one likes an idiot So you strapped them in and chained them down This one's for the idiot that you chained down This one's for the mind that you caged in No one likes an idiot Maybe you should wonder why no one likes you Written November 24th, 2001 © on Nov 24 2001 07:55 AM PST   0 • 9
