Lyrics for Spoken Word Piece

Liberal man meets conservative man Conservative man wears his myth on his skin Liberal man has to explain his and keeps his shirt all buttoned up Conservative man greets liberal man with a well-rehearsed cold stare Liberal man replies by issuing forth horse shit Conservative man retaliates by taking the concrete reality of the Situation and lodging it, like a wedge Right between both sides of liberal man's brain Liberal man is caught off guard by this apparent non-abstraction There is one full minute of confusion Liberal man becomes conservative man Conservative man becomes liberal man War is declared Liberal man cheats by calling in reinforcements Conservative man is set upon by a mob and murdered Said mob then turns on liberal man, and he dies a broken man
