I can't say that this bothers me much at all. If everybody's carrying a stick, then you're an idiot if you dress like a piñata.
I get a real sense of, "Shut up or I'll give you something to cry about," around complaint rock by any name.
The beat the snot out of the emo kids, and I said nothing because I'm happy with my life.
They gunned down the gangsta rappers, and I said nothing because I'm neither a gangsta nor a gangster.
They ridiculed the juggaloes into extinction, and I laughed because partying in clown makeup has got to be the silliest thing I have ever heard.
I don't figure they'll be coming for me, because I understand that music is only music, not salvation, not a guide to how to live.
If they do come, I'll crank "Die With Your Boots On" as loud as it goes and take as many of them with me as I can.
