Get Back Up

Assimilate your view To match the status quo, Consensus starts to skew Hypocrisy on show, Now you seem the clown The eager willing pup, It’s not the beating down But how you get back up! A friendship ill-advised Treacherous and vain, Before you realized They’ve dissed you once again. Smile into a frown Superior or sup, It’s not the beating down But how you get back up! Alcohol and drugs Became your sanctuary, Psychogenic thugs Cleaving reality, Out upon the town Common sense you swop, It’s not the beating down But how you get back up! Tattooed to the hilt Judgement, every eye, Predetermined guilt Archaic in their lie, Blackened, gray and brown Squeezing ink to cup, It’s not the beating down But how you get back up! 07/09/2013 © Copyright 2013 Adam Parker
