Jus' playin

On vacation,
This generation
Flashing cameras.
Look how glamorous.

You wish you
Were here. Me too.
Our lives to envy.
No need assembly

Out of the box,
Party hats and party frocks.
The world, ideal.
Not sure what’s real

From the screen or window.
Cheap life memento.
And those out in it,
How did they get it?

Risky racket rodeo?
Corner store cornholio?
Shiny car, I want it.
Cellphone star, you got it.

Scratch for instant winning.
No need for second inning.
This game keeps going round.
Get lost and then get found.

Let’s go find some trouble.
Nothin to lose, ‘cept double.
Nobody gonna HELP US.
They’re dreaming in excelsis.

Selfish me and selfish you
Pod of peas in superglue.
Mind your side, stay off of mine.
After taste of something fine.
