    Just a Thin Slice

    You give a thin slice
    away to your mother.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your father.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your teacher.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your boss.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your peer group.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your church.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your husband.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your wife.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your children.

    You give a thin slice
    away to your guru.

    One day you wake up
    and you find that it's true.
    You've sold
    yourself out and
    there's none left
    for you.

    You're either in jail
    or turning green
    (with envy).

    Or going crazy in
    the suburbs
    providing work
    for a psychiatrist
    (what's new?).

    You try and you try
    but you cannot break free,
    unless you have
    the money
    to buy the key
    (even that only leads
    to ashes and shards).

    Now your feet
    are in chains
    and your mind
    has gone numb,
    while the state and
    the church
    have you under
    their thumb.
