Line Of Actual Control

Breaking news: the indoor blues
Won’t be leaving soon, remember ‘Swoon?’
Follow your leader bareback breeder
Less is no more, no more than before

Bless your heart when love strikes out
The body positive Anglos shout
Let’s relocate let’s move upstate
Let’s generate our privilege
And multiply our lineage

Attempt to and a rover on Mars
And colonize with federal bars

LAC, China, India, ready to fight
(Let’s get ready to rumble!)
Soundtrack of summer a border delight
A kind of hope a kind of strength
The scheduled orbit, elite club at arms length
Launching season is especially busy
‘Fat5’ is bulky, makes a slow race uneasy

The Castle Hope

Whatever happens USA, don’t sacrifice a thing
Keep your personal rights and all that they bring
One for all and all for one, that’s socialist talk that’s dumber than done

Modi at 40 was a killing machine
And Xi takes ya back to the Gang of Four scene
Where we breed ‘em and bake ‘em the wet market dream
Hey stupid, RSS* isn’t just a website feed
The freedom of movement, so many young lives
With the bored looking soldiers giving high-fives

Kashmir more than a song by an oversexed band
With your apples and oranges the Kashmiri Muslims
The cease-fire line from 1949
Electoral fraud Mahatma disregard
Your Nehru collar had a grandson
With knives, bows and arrows, maces, and swords

Fuck the Mercury Bar, fuck Panda Express
Fuck ‘People’ and ‘US’ and ‘USA Today’ mess
Fuck your memories of longing
And your outdoor asshole you nonesuck rock n roll
Bring it on home to me
You ya think I’m sexy?

Hey, mansplain again with your bald headed grin
Be my baby be my baby now
Speaking of Hindu let’s slaughter a cow
And while we’re at it
Slaughter the here and now
And Starbucks obviously

You bet me, you lost
You get me at cost
I outlive you’re dream
Your need to be seen

I paralyze truth
I transform your youth
Mesmerize with charm
And fuck do no harm

I rent galaxy
My rover is me
A neighbor in space
Humans to erase

I’ll righteously ramble
The government gamble
Your '80s supreme
Was no match for Jobim

*Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
