2.281 : 2/8/06 : Smash the Window

B had a whiskey bottle
ran his own two minute hate
look at all the fractured pages
his disgusting dinner plate
I said smash the window buddy
let the rage flow out
maybe if you’d done it
you’d know what you really were about
M was a displaced person
student in another life
tried to steal my only guitar
claimed but couldn’t produce a wife
I said smash the window stranger
with your begging hand
Live on other strangers’ kindness
Ain’t this just the promised land
J was just a baby
still he had to rock
drove me to distraction when
that knob started to knock
I said smash the window my son
Always get another
learn the prime engagement
everything falls apart brother

what

All true stories, though only M ended up actually smashing my window.
