Issue One - Mary Panza

Erotic Faces Make Cum Too Fast
So
I
Crossed
My
Eyes
He
Came
Anyway

Sold the Town Away
I sold you down the river
Thinking the paint on the walls was new
And not just covering up past
Indiscretions

I sold you out
Breaking every rule known to
God and the Soprano's
Like any good traitor
I pay the price for thinking something up the
Road
Would be
Smarter
More handsome
Safer

I pay the price for thinking
I can finally be the girl and not the man, minus the penis
I wanted so badly for you to make me
Want
To wear the pretty things
And you still loving the way I look in my glasses
No makeup, a few stray chin hairs that I didn't grow on purpose

I sold you out thinking
You would make me safe
From the creature whose face I can't see
Coming to hurt me
To take something from me
That I am not going to give
Willingly

I pay the price for thinking

I sold the town away
And I am trying to come
Home

Lead Singer Disease
The words you are using
Injustice, revolution, Jesus, Buddha
Are the literary equivalent to tits and ass
If you throw them around enough
Someone will fuck you

Well, not this someone
Butt
Someone who is easily impressed by your so called
What ever the fuck it is you claim to be

So let us be real for a moment
If I were a frat boy, I would have kicked the shit out of you too
Or Jock, or tough guy
Or anyone else who you claimed bothered you and was not as good as you because you are the second coming of whatever
And then you picked on the fat girl, theater/computer geek, or someone else that was lower than you on the Wonder White Bread Food Chain
Truth is you are an elitist
More over, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely". Always has Always will. If that fact escaped you, then congratulations you are the dumbest shit on the planet.
Another thing. Stop talking about rape. You are a man. I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your empathy.
Finally, unless you are offering solutions you are sucking air
Shut up, fuck your one hit wonders, fight your revolution, and take your meds before I go frat boy on you.
