Pioneer Blues
We are easy targets--powerless, pale
No superficial shine, no round table.
As we do the right thing to no avail
Weird power fat monsters sneer and label.
But when we look in the mirror we smile
Shining with love despite the dull copper.
If life's a highway, we take on each mile
Riding easy like Fonda and Hopper.
Let the world revolve around Britney Spears
We respect each other and that's enough.
Karma owes us at least one round of beers
(She must be busy with much deeper stuff.)
Our invitation was lost in the mail
Like true pioneers we'll find our own trail.
