The Swerve
to
save
our
lives
we're getting a taste of oppression
stay home!
wear your mask!
don't do this!
don't do that!
you can't go there
but you can go there
just be home by sunset.
Friends,
remember these times
brand them into your bones
staple them onto your mind..
when the mask comes off
you'll appreciate a smile
going for a stroll
in a straight line
instead of performing "the swerve"...
killing freedom
to
save
our
lives...
but isn't death
the pinnacle of
freedom
