Letters To A Young Anus

Be careful how much you reveal
I got one piece of advice for you, kid
Keep your mouth shut, put a fucking lid
Upon your dissenting views

Don't roll your eyes when they face the flag
Or stitch the goddamn thing on their carry-on bag
Hold your tongue, hold though your reflex to gag
There's nothing you can do

Don't laugh out loud when they vote NDP
And then act all surprised when they serve industry
The water is poison, despite how hard we
Mark our little X to rearrange the deck

Damned if we don't, damned if we do
I'd just shut my mouth if I were you
Everything you say can and will
Be used against you and, dumb ass, until
You get that through your head with a masonry drill
It's all downhill for you

It doesn't matter what you think
It doesn't matter how you feel
It don't matter that you can't sleep
Be careful how much you reveal

Ixnay the I told you so's
Suppress your overwhelming urge to gloat
You can save all that shit for your suicide note
Trouble wording your last laugh?
I'll lend you my final draft

Be careful how much you reveal
