I wish everyone would just behave
Then I could go back to writing love songs
Like I just don’t care
Instead of protest songs
More protest songs,
To prove I am not complicit
Or whatever it is
That compels me
To contribute
In a positive
And constructive way
To society.
I wish everyone would just behave
Then I could go crazy in love songs
A riot of emotion
A revolution of the heart
An insurgence of romance
A coup d’état of coo ca choo.
I wish everyone would just behave
I do I do I do.
