I Broke

Great - I’m alive
Great- I survive
Great - I proscribe
40 days and 40 nights
Of Rikers Island overbite
And thank you for the heads up
And not in my hood but why not?

I give you peace I give you light
My fellow man a constant delight
Freeloader, thank you Chipotle
Never thought you’d be my go-to remotely

I broke I pass the test
I broke I broke the best
I broke decision trees
I broke but on my knees

Breast feed this emotion
Spread eagle commotion
Circle the wagons, death and death tag team
Dungeons & Dragons
Fantasy phantoms
I edited pussy out, but now I’m all about
Bend ‘em & break ‘em
And always earthquake ‘em

I broke the Jersey Shore
I broke the Baptist bore
I broke the Minute Maid
I broke the Betty Page
I broke the Betty Page

And your retro pork pie hat
Doesn’t make you less fat
And you’re leaving in droves
Not fast enough, good riddance you left over drones

Like if Christ was fer reals
Second comings ‘you feel?’
You might be Kanye stupid
Is that a thing?
It should’ve been in 2016
But that brain trust won’t go away
Break your jaw, call it a day
Take Hillsong for holy foreplay
MAGA your ass to Judgement Day

I broke I broke alone
I broke I broke phone home
I broke the party line
I broke the end of time

Offspring of Madonna in a tub
Imagine we’re all equal - that’s the rub
I’ve been sitting with that think piece from the NY Time
Just like CNN and the scene of the crime
Roy Cohn and Roger Stone with their butterball slime
Bury the bodies, Roger, you bring the lime

I broke I broke alone
I broke I broke phone home
I broke the party line
I broke the end of time

I was guessing on the blessing of a prisoner exchange
I’ll give you 2 to 1 Ronald Reagan’s to blame
It seems the GOP likes toddlers with atrophied brains
Nancy Reagan shared a horseshoe with Catherine the Great
Ronnie wet the bed so much she had to make a horse date
That’s cruelty to animals from a FLOTUS of late

UPS Dave, not a slave to fashion
Built a small life around baseball
Buying bleachers to lounge in
If you could wave a magic wand
He’d be king for a day
Instead he’s gone hopeless
Meathead lardon frisée

I broke the Jersey Shore
I broke the Baptist bore
I broke the Minute Maid
I broke the Betty page
I broke the Betty page

Remember good Twitter instead of bad Twitter?
Remember on the shitter that neither matter?
Sinkhole, brain drain, conspiracy mainframe
Speaking of atrophied: you missing your brain?
One issue voter, one issue explain
Impersonal ballot unemployment claim
About face about honor identity games
You waver you wander you start naming names

Remember when life was simpler if you dare
Maybe simpler for you but for many nowhere
Bump & grind in the cave art
Sell at Sotheby's Walmart

I broke I pass the test
I broke I broke the best
I broke decision trees
I broke but on my knees

And Walmart takes sides
The Walton of rides, the big box whore
Of America’s pride

I scream you scream
We all scream for gunsling
As 2nd Amendment and Covid agree
You’re children are collateral damage
George Carlin Glee:
Fuck the children, you beat him to it
Your hypocrisy knew it
So choke on it, chew it
As the kids lock ‘n’ lose it

Netflix a joke choke on your ROMA
Mick Jagger don’t forget underage swagger
Blood transfusion open time illusion
Destroy all monsters & rock star posers

Belittle belonging
Clarence Thomas long-donging
Home security banking congressional spanking
The social contract thank God for no contact
Keep your friends closer, your enemy’s near
As this system breaks down I won’t shed a tear

I broke I pass the test
I broke I broke the best
I broke decision trees
I broke but on my knees

I broke I broke alone
I broke I broke phone home
I broke the party line
I broke the end of time
