Trembling leaves

Trembling leaves

I ought to break your window
I ought to break your face
Don’t call the city council
And get back into grace

It’s amazing what you people do
When you think you’re all alone
Things you wouldn’t dream of
Back where you call home

As he hurriedly zipped up his pants
And scuttled back into his car
I saw something better that night
Than his apology would do by far

Upon his hood and fender
Upon his trembling hands
Down the front of the trousers
Of this well dressed man

Yellow droplets wildly sprayed
Driven by panics divine design
If you can’t get their respect
Fear will do just fine

Don’t call up the city council
And get back into grace
Just leave behind your contribution
And forget about this place

Don’t tell’m what
We’re going through down here
Don’t tell’m abouth the neglect
The apathy built up over years

The crime and addictions
Blatantly going on and on
The cycles downward spinning
The repeat offenders con

Just drive off thinking
About how truly lucky you were
To get away from that lower class
Over emotional reactionary cur

And get back to that family
The back bone of your life
Nobody wants the same
For their neighborhood kids and wife

Yeah….

Yellow droplets wildy sprayed
Driven by panics divine design
If you can’t get their respect
Fear will do just fine….
