Healthy Disregard
If you, my friend, are worriedin the same way that I amFrom seein' Captain Ahab Where once stood Uncle Samon meaningless vendettaswaged on made-up enemiesand includin' our neighbors in with these
I think a healthy disregard is well-advisedwhen grown-ups abdecate and children superviseand brush our freedoms with the brush suspicion tarredI hope I see some healthy disregard
Oh, don't you wonder why we're led to think authority'sinvested in some scary "them"and not the common "we"?and you who hold a shieldain't it time you looked insideand see the face your helmets hide?
You might think a healthy disregard is well-advisedcan't we be countrymen instead of warring sides?who treat our neighborhoods like Folsom Prison yardI hope I see some healthy disregard
So, when they mention thingsthat if we see, we'd better sayso folks who make us nervous can be neatly dragged awayremember what our Grandma'sgeneration would've thoughtand all the injustices they fought
They had a healthy disregard for stupid rulesand not much indulgence for legalistic foolsso when some punk decides to play some fascist cardI hope I see some healthy disregard!
