Mediocre Blues

The Mediocre Blues!

Hamburgers and fries
Sneakers and sweats
Mechanical sex

Hi, I'm fine
Could care less about you
I'm dreaming man!

Moms and dads
Sons and daughters
Pampered possessions

Fantasy
Healing
Bored with life
Peanut butter sandwiches again

TV mini-series
Beer and cigs
Your mad—I'm glad
Your glad—I'm mad!

Could a poem open someone's heart?
Nah! Not when, Not now!
The mediocre blues are too comfortable, man!
