TALK HARD
“People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.” – Bill Watterson, ‘Calvin & Hobbes Yukon Ho!’
I am not washed-up
I should believe I am but I do not
I still read all their ungraded hatemail
Fourteen long years of school
And all I learned was to fail
But I am not proud
To rot with that crowd
‘Cause I am stronger
I was born in a force ten gale
It takes more than hot air to blow the wind out of my sails
And my eyesight’s poor
But I am the future
Hear me roar
And get ready to talk hard
Know this: your head is not empty
So talk hard
You can do anything you feel
“Toilet-trained and dumb”
When we first talk we learn by rote,
“We are scum
“We come from nothing? That’s what we deserve”
Classrooms crowded with robots
We are Goebbels’ children
But we’re not down yet
Don’t let them forget
That we are stronger
You were born
‘Til the day you die, you are alive
While you’ve got the time
At least try to justify yourself
The buck stops with you and no-one else
So get ready to talk hard
Know this: your head is not empty
So talk hard
You can do anything you feel.

They said to never pass up on a good thing
Like it was all just a matter of asking
And kissing cold, dead lips and hands and asses
I built a Legoland of fortune
I put posters on my wall to worship:
Tori’s hair and Brad Pitt’s six pack
And where is the sin?
Is it worse not to like yourself
Or pretend that everything’s just fine?
Full steam ahead
Five by five
Full steam ahead, boys
Five by…
They took notes
It felt, I told them,
Like I was failing an audition
They said that was not how this should feel
I filled a questionnaire out for them
I held a match under my foreskin
I left a scar I hoped would never, ever heal
I know I’m alive
Because I won’t be satisfied
To accept contentment is to die inside
Full steam ahead
Five by five
Full steam ahead, boys
Five by five.

I AM NOT A VIRGIN
It’s been a long time coming and you can’t stop
It’s been a long time coming and you can’t stop
And you want to get out but you can’t
Not this time
You think of all the neat leaflets you read
When you were younger and still innocent
And you want to get out but you can’t
Not now
Will the World seem different?
How will you tell your friends?
“I am not a virgin”?
Not a virgin now
And to think, you thought it would all make sense
But all you feel is messed up now
For such a big thing there’s little satisfaction
A long time waiting for not much action
He wanted to get out as soon as he could
Whatever joy the future brings he’s there
He’ll always have his fingers in your hair
Say it: “I am not a virgin”
Not a virgin now
And to think, you thought it would all make sense
But all you feel is let down
You want to get out?
You want to get out?
You still can
I am not a virgin
Not a virgin now
And to think, you thought it would all make sense
But all you feel is let down.
