If Laws Are Outlawed Only Outlaws
Will Have Laws

I want a bumper-sticker slogan
I want to peel the paper backing off 
the meaning of my life
I know the world’s not black and white,
But maybe with some color graphics,
A gawdy heart that’s taken to mean love
I could know where to go next

Take this choice away from me
Cuz I don’t know the rules
I don’t know the borderline
Between your life and mine
Two separate timelines
That intersect crosswise
I guess I’ll just have to guess.

I want a clever t-shirt motto
I want a catalog of save-the-planet 
mascots to leaf through
I guess it’s only laziness
It’s much too hard to form opinions
I hate the sinners but I love the sin
I feel only remoteness

Take this choice away from me
Cuz I can’t understand
I don’t ever realize
I have to move again
Always caught off-guard
In permanent protest
Who knows what will happen next
