'cause we are leaves in the breeze devoid of purpose
and we vilify for validity with vicious vignettes
i am just as guilty and i have been wrong
so you can call me a hypocrite
but you should be just as ashamed of yourself as i am of me
for accepting mediocrity and bending your knee
not quite indefatigable and far from unimpeachable
i'd much prefer to be hated than pitied
to fall flat on my face trying to innovate
than to meet an industry-imposed standard and rest on it
i'll take a propensity for verbosity
over pontifical duplicity - and primarily
i think we're better than this
