Deceased Equine Thrashing

the struggle is immune to time

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

i keep hearing songs

that i don’t want to hear

i keep hearing shit

that hurts my brain

i keep hearing songs

that make me fuckin sick

all the fucking time

and they’re all fuckin shit

shit i don't wanna hear

all the fuckin time

but i don't get no say

the choice aint fuckin mine

got no time or tolerance

for music i despise

i don’t like i don’t listen

and my opinion it aint nice

over and over and over again

maximum rotate light is lit

you can play it all day and night

it’s still a piece of shit

and now as i get older

there’s no escaping it anymore

from every single open car window

every single mall or store

it's like a worm in my ear

like a booger in my beer

an itch i cannot scratch

a drift i fail to catch

it’s getting fuckin worse

i love music don’t get me wrong

but i hate that fuckin shit

i hate that fucking song

i could provide a detailed list

but that is simply crass

because what i really feel

just blows right out my ass

haunted by a tiring banality

echoed by top forty choice

i shake my head and groan some more

as mine is but a single voice

popular is confused with good

this is par for the course

i’ll just moan to myself some more

as i flog this lifeless horse
