The Weakerthans -“Confessions of a Futon Revolutionist”

“held like water in your shaking hands

are all the small defeats a day demands

10-6 or 9-5, trying, dying to survive

never knowing what survival means

leave the apartment to buy alcohol

hung our diplomas on the bathroom wall

look at the plaster chipped away

survey some stunning tooth decay

enlist the cat in the impending class war

let’s lay our bad day down here, dear

let’s make believe we’re strong

and hum some protest song

like maybe we shall overcome someday

overcome the stupid things we say

say I needed more than this

say I needed one more kiss

we left that light on way too long now”
