Forged

You know I've made things from clay and been covered with mud

I've seen men do miracles, hands covered in blood

I've coveted much and been subjected to flood

I've been forged in fire and rejected as a dud

We need to charge up the light brigade and sack the old city

I'm too young to be a justice stuck in sudden self-pity

Everybody gets down now with sunken feelings shitty

Decisions made regretted get vetoed by committee

I've sworn off milk and tofu, I eat meat and potatoes

And I'm into anarchism, feminism and landscaping

Man I mention it's the system and our time's a wasting

Just picking up the pieces and sticking up for feces

I don't always wanna get shit on, shower and shave

And find out fast the last thing I am is brave

You killed a lot of time watching cable lately

The art of conversation interferes with cheers

You can't make me

You make anyone do what they don't wanna

When apathy is in the medium as marijuana

Each one teach one but never trust a preacher

The wolf smokes dope so reach for the reefer

Why does every channel serve up a different sermon?

I know I prefer my pulpit in the sewer with the vermin

I once went to church, now I choose the Godfather

On DVD trilogy as the source of my divinity

And pass by the Pope and look to a cope

A lot of cope with the end of the rope type thing

I bring a critical view to the pew

'Cause too much starts up as fiction like The Taming of the Shrew

And then gets misconstrued

So I snuck out of midnight mass at the risk of being rude

Because the words were nonsense, the pacing unbearable

So I don't drive on Sunday 'cause the traffic is terrible

I've got plenty of confidence, I don't need a leader

If you wonder what I worship then it's at the movie theater

Admiring the off-color humor of the Coen brothers

Loving Hitchcock, Scorsese, Kubrick and many others

My devotion is deep like Michael's disappointment in Fredo

And my mind's manipulated like Play-Doh
