Is On Ys

Posted by

I am still working on a decent take for the Youtube video of the 10th song from American Success Story. So I thought I would begin presenting the lyrics of the next work in progress after American Success. Follow the link after the poem to play the track.

Is On Ys
Don’t always
mean a thing
Is on Ys
criticize everything
He’s no, She’s no
reacher that consents
he’s no, she’s no
seeker of amends
Lies don’t please
don’t ease
don’t cease
for anything
Lies don’t need
don’t plead
don’t grieve
a thing
