maybe you could say the lighting was lacking
and that’s why she left
maybe you could say the server was slacking
and that’s why he’s depressed

but whatever it is
the band is still screaming
through symbols and percussion
because they are out to prove
that you’re never too young to
be proven wrong
and through their quest
they will shine their photographs
of blood stained bouquets
to those too hasty to notice
that the orchestra is still weeping

and the kids will highlight their musical tastes
so we will know who we love
and who we hate
and the kids will highlight their musical tastes
so they know where they fit
and where to stay away

and maybe we can blame
this intrusion of such a bland lifestyle
upon our children
because

the band is still screaming
And the orchestra is still weeping
