SONGS & DREAMS
OF OTHER THINGS
about
AND THAT WHICH IS SCARY!

by Jeffrey Murrell

LIKE A REBEL FLAG


It's a compromising situation,
The consequences of temptation!
Everyone's afraid!
But then, there are some who ain't . . .
And I can't see how they get around it.

It's hard to deal with stagnation;
It's hard to live in liberation.
Oh, so young and brave,
But so old and tame!
It's so confusing to be proud.

Let them wave it around!
Like a rebel flag!
They're going to hold their ground!
To the very last man.

Spooky strange situations
Drive some insane with desperation;
Embittered and deranged,
It just ain't safe to play
But it ain't no game,
It has no bounds.

There's this feeling going 'round;
I feel I'd best not lose my ground,
The first time will never come back,
But who remembers things like that?
Who remembers things like that?
Let them wave it around!
