Zusammenbruch 2000

 part one 


IN HONOR OF
 THE GREAT CRASH OF ‘29

--------------------------------------------

 THE JOB NUMBERS FOR SEPTEMBER ARE IN 
AND THEY’RE PROMISING 

  of course caveats and 
  admissions are in order
 
we had a job blip last fall too 

but fellow klass  wranglers 
 looks like the job drought may be ending



             
-------------------------------------------------------------------
now answer me honest 
are you deep inside pissed ?

does the thought cross the cloven mind gap 
that those fucking Korporate PUMPERS 
   the FUCKING GRAND OLD REPUBLIDONS
  are back on the reelectric circuit again

 are you rip shit
maybe just a little
even though you want folks 
agittin them there better jobs 

are you leaked a trifle 

 that the  great stoolpigeon 

georgie 
 BABABABUSSSSSH jr 

  is once again 
grinning at the 
momentarily  fractious 
TERM TWO 
like shes just another pair 
of well spread legs 

I CONFESS I’VE FELT THAT 
 SINFUL WRATH WITHIN 
-------------------------------------------------



  the pray for cataclysm -
 worst the better 
PRAY FOR RAIN AND EARTH QUAKES 
 that school of revolutionary cookery 
stinks 

thats trot stuff in my mind 

not dialectics but diatribics 
and thwarted diatribics at that 
a rage against history 

 a small fry
 pipsqueek rage 
against the  history
 of  class   history
 herself 
gorgeous all fulfilling 
 mama class 
raging against her as she 
  washes us all 
in her  stopless tides 

then again i know i say 
please mams please 
 give us a big one
 to surf 
just one
 just once 
-------------------------------------------
 A JOB FOR old  JOB 

 LIKE THE ENDING TO THE STORY OF 
 TORMENTED OLD JOB 

ONCE MORE 
AMERICA’S  GREAT MIDDLE
MAY BE HEADED
BACK TOWARD 
RECONCILIATION 
WITH THE KAPSHOW 

 
“ despite all we’ve rode thrru 
 these fucking ass wipes
still  want to stay on the bus ”
                     hunter thompson ‘72
----------------------------------------
imagine this is it folks
imagine  it won’t git any rougher 

 imagine there are no more deep
deep drops 
no dive bomb   downers out there
  waiting 
to morph   the klass kampf 
into a  mosh pit 

 imagine
 ye old  kap system
 has some fucking how 
 evolved itself 
into a far blander  rollercoaster
the class whiper is gone 
the over 360 removed 
at least 
here in World One 

what if
 what iffffffffffffff

“  OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PLEASE PLEASE  noooooooo
please please  give us 
oh transcendent and unknown 
     class forces
  another great depression
PLEASE 
------------------------------------------------

when the kaps get good news that also spells
better times for wagelings 
do you find your spirits slowing 

 as we appear
 one more ever fucking  time
( 4 dodges since 70 alone )
to be headed passed
 the  ice berg 
 and once fucking again 
without the fucking 
 deep deep DEEP 
 belly slash 
 we need 
IF THERE’S TO BE 
any  hard ass rock 
around this boozhwah  town 

do ya feel the air coming out of your middle 

tell me
 tell us 
do ya 

do ya when stuff like this happens 
 clash fans 
do ya  find such a cry
 of yearning thwartation 
 thrashing around 
unsaid in your  lonesome 
breast 

this morning I do 

i know it   makes me
as my now decapitated fearless
tenant leader called me 
“ a fan not a player ”

cause of course plays 
joe hill it thru the dark valleys 
they get out and rumble 

 but  there’s one aspect 
I see right 
 and  my feelings reflect 
all too well 

  the humanity panity 
of the burger
 do gooder soft spots

 i see their goodly intentions 
for what they ‘re worth 
nothing 
they’re the ass end of class peace 
the end the shit comes out of 
--------------------------------------------
 but its all so luke warm 

god fuck a spaniel 
at least the old style 
hollywood ending 
was big ham lion lamb dancing shit 
heart holding hands with mind and matter 

as my sainted 
maternal grand dad 
 used to tell me 
“ gotta give em 
the big lift at the finish 
to get them
 the tarnation out their seats 
so the next show can roll in ”

what we got here today 
economy wise 
 is more like 
this weeks
 until next week 
slappy but still sorta 
 happy end of show

cut to commercial 
 ---------------------------------------------------------

if 
making history REV UP 
 is where its at 

AND MAYBE 
 no big deep dreams
ARE COMING TRUE ANYMORE 
AND THERE WILL BE 
NO RERUN OF ‘29 
  
WHAT FUCKING THEN 

WHAT CAN 
give us 

the  great awakening  of the massses 
ala 36 

who fucking really knows
only history herself will tell 
what the class forces may bring 

and now my fellow cow pokes 
until then 
let us pray 

SEND us

 oh GREAT AND GLORIOUS 
CLASS FORCE 

send us 

a NEW FLINT 
 
 SEND us

 a NEW LAWRENCE 

and 
a NEW HOMESTEAD 

and send em
FRICKING QUICK 

before we all croak
 our way 
out of this earthly  struggle
 for keeps 


on second thought 
heres a better prayer 

SEND us the COMMOTION 
 
OH GREAT AND GLORIOUS CLASS FORCE 
 
TO 
MAKE OURSELVES

 A NEW FLINT

MAKE OURSELVES 

A NEW LAWRENCE 

and 
A NEW HOMESTEAD 


 NO ON SECOND THOUGH BIG MOMA 

 HELP US MAKE 
A NEW GETTYSBURG 


 A WORKING CLASS
 GETTYSBURG 

WHERE THE TIDE TURNS FOREVER 
THE WAY OF THE WORKERS
