Though I must admit I did tune in to watch Duke barely get a hand over Butler in the 2010 NCAA National Championships, I did realize something afterward.
Why the hell do we even care????
College basketball should not take over our lives to the point of negligence. I knew that Duke had beaten Butler before I knew that 7 people have died so far after a mine collapsed in West Virginia. Call me pretentious or simply naive, but it really makes me think. I should be paying more attention to actual important events in this world, NOT a college basketball championship! On Google News, the top TWO articles are about the mine collapsing and Duke winning.
think i'm going for a walk now i feel a little unsteady i don't want nobody to follow me 'cept maybe you i could make you happy you know if you weren't already i could do a lot of things and i do
tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you too bad you had to have a better half she's not really my type but i think you two are forever and i hate to say it but you're perfect together
so fuck you and your untouchable face and fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch and who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much
two-thirty in the morning and my gas tank will be empty soon neon sign on the horizon rubbing elbows with the moon a safe haven of sleepless where the deep fryer's always on radio is counting down the top 20 country songs and out on the porch the fly strip is waving like a flag in the wind y'know, i don't look forward to seeing you again soon you'll look like a photograph of yourself taken from far far away and i won't know what to do and i won't know what to say
except fuck you... and your untouchable face and fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch and who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much
i see you and i'm so perplexed what was i thinking what will i think of next where can i hide in the back room there's a lamp that hangs over the pool table and when the fan is on it swings gently side to side there's a changing constellation of balls as we are playing i see orion and say nothing the only thing i can think of saying
is fuck you... and your untouchable face and fuck you for existing in the first place and who am i that i should be vying for your touch and who am i i bet you can't even tell me that much.
who am i somebody to tell me a lie who am i somebody to tell me lies...
