My Culture

Ignore my friend, ignore work, work, work, hard, 40 hours to the corp, 20 hours to the family and 40 to the drugs you house is so nice your car is better 40 to the corp ignore the abuse, slave labor in another country.... the blood, sweat, and tears.... You didnt do it, its the CEO who makes those decisions. Lobbyists supporting the war wow, the profits, bonus for all.. Evil, abuse, pollution, war. Make that check and run home. 20 to the family Oh my beautiful children, that hate me, but at least their fed well. They dont value me, such stupid children I work so hard for them, My wife who doesnt like sex, does that mean she doesnt love me? I like it when we pretend, we actually get along then, please pretend some more, that we love each other, please. 40 to the drugs Television, Sports, video games, high fructose corn syrup, chlorinated, flouridated water tastes so nice. Caffiene, sugar, alcohol, nicotine I still can't cope, anybody got some dope? Damnit where is that rope? The pharmacy can cure your pain, and if not we can shock your brain. This is my culture. I am sad for it, but am addicted to it.

this rings with a lot of truth! I enjoyed seeing what you meant by drugs. A lot of them are my drugs too (the innocent sounding ones that are not always so innocent after all!) andrea
