Resistance Is Fertile

Too cool for school

Unknowable

What did you say?

What is your will?

Why don't you

Start up a taste

And deny it?

Ten million

Bruised minions

Marching the same

You got a face for the many

A manner for the few

Sliding out of view is the man

You were only a cut flower

From the day you were born

Beauty is a revolving door

You will say you were warned

Young and of course

Beautiful corpse

Always the same

To crave this mess

Poisoned success

We should have known

It was all-consuming

The grace, the noise

The sweat, the poise

Such was your fame

You got a face for the many

A manner for the few

Sliding out of view is the man

You were only a cut flower

From the day you were born

Beauty is a revolving door

You will say you were warned

You were only a cut flower

From the day you were born

Beauty is a revolving door

You will say you were warned

All resistance is fertile

Springing from necessity

Repurposed, packaged and sold

Especially for you and me
