Thou shalt not skateboard?


Skateboarders, now listen hard
nobody wants a skateboarding park near his or her back yard
your sport is suddenly illegal
so that even the sight of a skateboarding decal
is enough to make some faint, it appears
would they feel any better to see you drinking beer?

we mustn’t forget that the word community
also contains another word – unity
don’t criticize young people just for having fun
what if instead of skateboarding, they began to run?
would that be seen as threatening too?

maybe you’d rather put them all in the zoo
the joie de vivre of the skateboarding bunch
should not be knocked too much
don’t think just because they’re in a skateboarding park
that they can’t be trusted not to do God knows what after dark
any of you who do not trust the teens

forget that it was once you decked out in blue jeans
did adults then want to send you on your way
when you had found something that made you want to stay?

And on the day he met her
The high pretension of their love connection all but sealed the deal
Happily ever after who better for each other than another candidate to
Make a case
That all they've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a 'never was' is all they'll ever be
They can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
But they're together anyways and share their self obsessed reality
We can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause we're a self fulfilling prophecies
Of make believe

-Hedley

It'll be awhile.
