World of Spin

Spin spin spin   spin spin spin

Spin spin spin   spin spin spin

 

it’s easy to get dizzy in a world full of spin,  when you try to keep your eyes wide open

trying to see through all the stuff there is to buy into,

Trying to cultivate a thicker skin, impermeable

to the spin doctors and the special offers, the whirling turnstiles,  changing hairstyles

the spinning cursors on lap top screens, the whirling screens of slot machines, the city

 

Spin spin spins,  spin spin spin

Spin spin spin   spin spin spin

 

Faster than Fox News anchor on leaking oil tanker, a presidential speech writer,

a back-peddling banker

Like a wheel of fortune you spin until you win, trying to navigate a path

Through this world we’re caught up in

 

Spin spin spin        Spin Spin Spin

Spin spin spin   spin spin spin

 

trying to stay free in

a world that’s busy trying to catch us in it’s clever spinning web

words twist together with the thoughts in my head

raw fibers that form a continuous thread

that twist and turn, turn and twist:

Spin: Resist.  Spin: Resist.

like the foot meets resistance when it pushes on the pedal,

resistence is how we move this piece of metal forward.

 

Without resistance, we’d never get anywhere.

 

spin spin spin     spin spin spin

spin spin spin     spin spin spin

 

would you speak your mind, would you fight to win?

Spin Spin Spin

Would you cover yourself in slogans?

Spin Spin Spin

What would you do for freedom?

Spin spin spin,  spin spin spin

Spin spin spin  Spin spin spin

 

Two wheels is where so much begins
