21st. Century Romance

21st. Century Romance

Smoke in the air, music on blast,
what a long shadow, society casts,
from Coca-Cola to Marlboro,
super-sized Superheroes,
bigger, louder, faster, more,
more souls to feed the jaws of war,
more blood, more sweat, more tears,
more propaganda, to create more fears,
so I need to smoke, just to relax,
from Uncle Sam, and all of his tax,
so light the joint, they have yet to tax weed,
turn up the volume, get amped on E,
then relax with Valuim, take one for me,
there are drugs for the highs, for the lows,
with some your heart races, with others it slows,
so pick your poison, and let's get moving,
the DJ has picked the perfect song for grooving,
let's sweat and act promiscuous,
oh this all seems so ridiculous,
when you really think about it,
so don't think, just drink aloud, it's,
time to party, time to dance,
this is a 21st. Century Romance,
no family, no kids, no significant other,
just these drugs and these drinks, so let's have another…
