more adventurous
It's a hit
any chimp can play human for a day
and use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform and run for office on election day and fancy himself a real decision maker then deploy more troops than salt in a salt shakerbut it's a jungle when war is made and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy the camera pulls back to reveal your true identity look its a sheep in a wolf's clothing a smaoking gun holding ape

any asshole can open up a museum put all the things he loves on display so everyone can see them the house the cr the thoughtful wifeordinary moments in his ordinary life but if she blinks or smiles she'll give you away cuz no one wants to pay to see her happiness no one wants to pay to see her day to day and i'm not buying it either but i'll try selling it anyway

any idiot can play greek for a day or join a sorority or write a tragedy and articulate all that pain and maybe she'll get paid but it's a sin when success complains and your writers block it dont mean shit just throw it against the wall and see what sticksgotta write a hit if i think this is it

it's a hit


and if its not then its a holiday for a hanging

and fool can play executioner for a day and say with fingers pointed in both directions "he went that way it's only a switch or a syringe i'm exempt from eternal sins..." but the pardons never come from upstairs they're always a moment too late but it's entertainment to keep the crowd on their toes it's justice and were safe

it's not a hit it's just a holiday

it's a holiday for a hanging i'm a holiday for a hanging, yeah
