feel free, write your scathing indictment
pick us apart with your joke of a pen
pacified poet, standing alone you know it
i hear you preaching:
"do it again - won´t you please do it again?"

plenty of time - hear the hypocrites whine
pathetic business -
take it, test it, know it, burn it
it´s all a game you play so mealy mouthed
at the trough we lay
i hear you pleading:
"do it again - won´t you please do it again?"

take it all upon you now
make you mark somehow
and keep it going
with illusions that you´re real
and phrases that you´ll steall
at your best you´ll drag them down

i´ve heard it all before
it´s all been said before
extending all an invitation - welcome to the

critic´s carnival -
where writers think they know more than you
no, don´t be a fool at critic´s carnival

a bully pulpit built to spin a phrase
will "pitch" a sermon for you
if you´ve got the money to pay at the
critic´s carnival
buy fifty dollar words, try bull-shit

no, don´t be deceived at critic´s carnival...

invite us to your ivory tower
impress me with your
insightfull gift of genius
yes, you can dish it out
a coward too much clout
hungry for power -

do it again - won´t you please do it again?
monday morning´s last draft quarterback
get it right get it wrong
we´ve just dragged on too long
it´s all a game you play
so mealy mouthed at the through we lay
i know you hear me!
do it again won´t you please do it again?

well?
