None of us has one

Like the monkey who wrapped his tail around the flagpole The one who burned his asshole Explaining that — what a hassle That's what you get

For carrying a grinder's cup Wearing a hat with a tassel Hang it around the castle The monkey's our cousins Some are almost men 96% the same, if not better than But the species differ from us in that Some have no tails None of us has one

Baby gets bored with the sociality Of the Bohemian romp of the petty bourgeoise Barflies and dandies swarming on shit Public enemies, exquisite gobs of spit Compradores, Judases, devil spawn Entrepreneurial pains in the ass Capitalist pawns

Standing on the backs of the underclasses To reach high enough to stick their noses into the asses Of those they service, the creators of the masses The bourgeoise, the ruling classes

The makers of progress and history The driving force behind modernity They that profit most From the toil of the masses The bourgeoise The ruling classes

How many stairs must a man walk down Before he can be called a man
