Everybody Sees It
Jul 23, 2024
It’s never about anything
Except what you decide,
Everybody else is pushed
Or steps off to the side.
And everybody sees it
They all know the song,
Everybody knows you’re right
And everybody’s wrong.
The band picks up your number
Feet tapping the floor,
I wonder why we’ve stayed so long
Following your score.
You don’t even see it
You think it’s what we want,
You think you just saved the day
Your instrument is blunt.
Once we all submit
You think it’s our idea,
It wouldn’t really matter
If we all disappeared.
Except you’d be abandoned
No one for you to tame,
Just you and all these empty seats
No one for you to blame.
