Depression and lovesickness in a time of war. Feeling guilty about having your head wrapped around something trivial when something real is happening. Also a klezmer band practiced a dirge outside my window for two hours straight while I was trying to sleep.
lyrics
the room lights up with cathode flashes
bombs burst in tape delay
love in a time of war
i wonder where you’re at
though it’s none of my business
love in a time of war
i wonder if my brother’s out there,
dying for these idiots
and i spit when the president speaks
there’s a protest out my window;
i feel guilty
i’m not going outside
read the paper read the paper
sit by the phone with my coffee
