The Crow's Disagreement With The Latvian


How can anyone who has never seen 
Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France
Claim that life is an excruciating bore 

You desire fundamental human experiences
Yet you won't let anything or anyone past your defenses
Nature doesn't give two about your imagined foibles
Let them go - feel something real
Stop trying to hide - feel something real
Take a risk on feeling joyful

You're willing to pledge to save a child in Africa
Yet you won't spend a dime on the homeless in Nebraska
Blame overpopulation on the policies of the Vatican
Lies that feel like truth - nothing but lies
The twisted truth - nothing but lies
A nonbeliever with hands on a talisman

How can anyone who has never heard
Post - Romantic harmony
Think they understand compositional drama
