Politics of the Schoolyard
Today, we don’t campaign for school president.
Today, it’s a fist-fight at the far side of the soccer field.
Today, there’s a field of it waiting for the victor.
Today, the loser won’t be healed.
Today, there’s another girl worth attention.
Today, we don’t campaign for school president.
Today, they’ll walk out with eyes like her shadow.
Today, they’re giving a hundred percent.
Today, another pipe was thrown out of the bus.
Today, another shot was taken up an arm.
Today, we don’t campaign for school president.
Today, we want Molly to sound her alarm.
Today, there are two reasons to live, girls and heights.
Today, we’ll shoot them up to die for love already spent.
Today, it’s a fist-fight at the far side of the soccer field.
Today, we don’t campaign for school president.
