Evermind
  You know what I don’t understand?
  How teens nowadays are more concerned about playlists and their favorite bands
  Than they are about what’s happening in Iraq and Iran.
  And it was a man
  That took me by the hand
  And made me understand.
  He may specialize in insanity
  But he’s disrupted the potency of vanity
  And for that he deserves…
  I don’t pop into or out of this manufactured world
  With a complete almanac of the stars in my head
  And it was a man
  That stopped me from wasting my money.
  “You can make your own.”
  And for that he deserves…
  I dare the Meter Police to pull him over.
  Every second I am with him, his lessons they go over and over and over
  In a Ferris wheel of movie allusions.
  And it was a man
  That stopped my trains from derailing
  Put up a stop and let my thoughts
  Disorganize into rows.
  And or that he deserves…
  To be surrounded by an evermind generation.
