There's No One New Around You

lyrics

Never sustained a right hook to the temple
Never shambled around town as a crust punk
Never repaired masonry atop a scaffold
Never homesick, never traveled
Never trawled the bottom and pulled up bycatch
Never buried a child as a result of mosquito
Never hauled contaminated water back to your village
Never defenestrated, never pillaged
Never bit nails until they bled
Never threatened to shoot your spouse
Never lifted cash from the till
Never cooked rice, never grilled
Never cut a hole in a border fence
Never fingerblasted a tight wet cunt
Never doubted transubstantiation
Never disheveled, never clean-shaven
Never first chair violin
Never challenged the chain of command
Never locked in a garment factory
Never disabled, never poached ivory
Never had to submit to put food on the table
Never understood the essence of art
Never recognized value in ugly speech
Never postured, never kept receipts
Never walked a mile in another's sandals
Never gazed through the breach with another's lens
Never prostrated, never promised, never forsook
Never got a chance to practice landing that right hook
