Kevin Wilson
Punchline

Slapped as soon as I was born
& this is the first thing I learned
Being born must be a serious crime
now I'm in debt til' the end of time

Bombarded with education & medication
try to fit me in where I do not belong
& it"s frustration & aggravation
conditioning response I feel like Pavlov's dog

There should be a punchline here
This could be the punchline here
We could be the punchline here
...but the joke's not funny

Why's it gotta be this way?
Why it gotta be this way
Why's it gotta be this way

They've changed my name to something that's, like, nine digits long
cuz' that way they won't spell it wrong
education funds that buy the books our future should read
have gone to build ourselves a doomsday bomb...in case it all goes wrong.

corrupted since the day I was born
corrupted by the things I've learned
They say trouble seems to be all you bring
but you've gotta question everything

Couldn't think of a punch line..

Your write made mucho senso though..Nicely done..

Thank you.

Yr answer WAS the punchline, see? You get it!

No...
She won't get it. She's a frail one, that.
Be sweet to her.
Gettin slapped at birth is one thing... get beat to **** throughout life quite another, see? Some just won't get it.... they're still wiser than we in other aspects.
She made sense of it all... get it?

Ted, what up man!!???

Missed ya'.

Oh, no...I meant that she got it cuz' there IS no punchline.....cuz' it's no joke......

I know that you're a lover, not a hater...
Was just instigating, haha. Peace.

It's a very good write Kev...
peeps that don't question kinda' scare me tho'...
just a pet peeve... so I was hesitant to respond.
Haha.

You should hear this to the tune I wrote. My friend heard me play this once and he was like, "Dude.....give me this song!!!!! I WANT this song!!!!!"" I thought that was funny. I mean......I gave him permission to do it.....but I sure as hell wasn't gonna' just give him my song..... I did, however show him how to play it and gave him the words cuz' I just wrote it for the hell of it and he was actually playing in a band....so it made sense I guess. He never understood what it was about though and that is what bothered me..... Oh well.....

Hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
(i'm trying to point out that I can't laugh enough about this very subject... it deserves it's own thread... I've literally discussed it for hours on end. Hell weekends even...)

An artist produces... puts it out there... then what?

Any answer is the right answer... who knows. Pffft.
I don't think that I've heard your sessions before...?
I'd love to hear the song though... and you are correct, we've known one another for some time now... so I should.
Ball... your court, haha.

Ted, I totally remember when I wrote "Aftermath Of The New Math"....and it puzzled you and Bastette so much that you all actually wrote me and were, like....."What the f*** is this about!!????" That was.....the ULTIMATE compliment.

If it inspires one to think... you know that you've done your job, well.
That's what I looked for when I "used to do..."

You seem to sho some consistancy in that regard... her work did too.
blahblahblah...

Just know that I appreciate your writings...
