DEMOCRACY

You're bluffing.
You're not okay.
You're totally. IN. SHOCK.
(revolution left a hangover. the confetti fell to the ground and rotted.)

didn't anyone tell you?
I'm COMING.
I'm ON MY WAY.
I'm RUNNING THROUGH. THE. DARK.
(every evening ends. in time for dawn. every day gives way to get the evening started.)

You little shit...
Now you have to admit. You have to admit.
You have to admit, you let the easy answer strike you dumb.
Cos' you never imagined that your day would come.

(didn't anyone tell you?)
IT'S A DEMOCRACY.
AND EVERYBODY OLD WAS YOUNG ONCE.
I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENS,
NO MATTER WHOSE GOD YOU SERVE.
AND SO THE CONSEQUENCE,
IS THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE
ANY MORE TIME AT THE TOP
THAN ANYBODY ELSE DESERVES.

So I don't CARE if you feel like a good boy today.
Cos I feel like I'm turning the page.
I feel like I'm turning the page: "no don't turn the page, you could end. my. life."
SLOW READERS SAVE LIVES.
(slow readers save lives).

Now we bid FAREWELL
To our brighter days
That have lasted longer than they should have lasted.

Well, you have to admit, you have to admit.
You have to admit.
ADMIT IT, BABY: WE ALL KNEW
That you THOUGHT it would never catch up with you...

didn't anyone tell you: you're nothing.
