The Poem from Peace & Love by Taz And The Maniacs

Sitting at the Hayfield junction
Trying to gather my thoughts
And there's a taxi about to pass me
Metaphorically three miles away.
I'm thinking a lot about life and a little about death
And how everyone thinks my head's a mess,
Some say it's my hair, others say my thoughts
And I know they are both unorthodox but I like them
So I'm keeping it that way.
As I open a can of a branded beverage,
I take a sip as my head starts to slip off the edge
Thinking what life must be like with kids, I remind myself that I'm fine and I'll be OK.
And so I was saying before the taxi passes me and I pull out to head where I was originally bound
The organisation I work for just to get some pay.
Well the rainy stormy summers
And the bright windy Winters
Give me a migraine like nothing else
God if I knew where to buy a gun I'd blow it all away
Well I once dreamed of Hot Hawaiian beaches
Where the only thing you worry about is beautiful woman and no sons of bitches
But how could I leave my mother after she gave up half her youth just for me.
Last night I was sitting with a fitness fanatic who thinks I'm a lunatic because I don't work on my guns
Well he's got the kind that blow all the girls minds and mine out with just one punch
And the local tailor was writing crazy letters about how is life is going swell
As the local celebrity falls to his knees and accepts defeat at the final whistle
But what does he care?
He gets his drinks bought for him in every bar in town
And it's things like this that make me scream
LORD COULD YOU HELP ME OUT
The only paper left in my pockets are receipts and to do lists,
Because all the money in the world goes to someone I don't think even exists, you see,
There's beautiful thing about self destruction
When You think about all the corruption, scare mongering and lies
Told by a man who's maid hangs a £1000 suit on a clothes line along with his white shirt and ties
And as I turn on the news I can't help but think what is it that we are really fighting for?
Because it's no longer Peace, Pride or Human Rights
It's Lawyers guns money and war!
