Old Boys and Girls
Boys who smoked hemp in school toilets
Married women that partied with owls
Like witches in fairy land of ghosts
They lived only with pleasure in moonlit night
And by day escaping to shameless freedom rooms
Cursing the world as they celebrate in joy
These old boys and old girls of old
The remember-me-not of underworld
Tickle everyone’s trouble spots in their ways
But with offspring littering the land of no freedom
The old story is retold and told but not in toilets
Hemp is gone but in its place are new things
Red eyes, swollen muscles, broken bones
