Cutthroats & Cutlery

When he found out how things really were between men & women
He was shocked how cutthroat both sexes were to one another
It was a drag to find out that everybody knew all the same shit and everyone played it off like it was nothing
All the things that go unsaid
They get shoved into your guts like cutlery
All the bullshit sex etiquette
It's like a miniature cold war
What a bunch of lies & ego trips
That's why all these people were so freaked out about each other
It's one big club
The look away & laugh club
A revelation the size of this one sent him reeling for the coffee pot
He spent the rest of the day playing watery college radio music like The Violent Femmes, The Pixies and Hootie & the Blowjobs
He scribbled furiously in his note pad about the injustices of the world and he felt very heavy and important
What a dumb shit!
