First World Blues--(danielle savage. written may 2009 mexico d.f., santo domingo house while sitting on the grey desk after zachary went skateboarding one day).

I won't sit still, and no I won't get a job, I've got better things for my time. And just 'cuz you're values tell you that you need more stuff, (it) doesn't mean that these are mine. I don't want a car and I don't need a house or 3 square meals made by who? I just wanna dig stuff and do it for myself, and now I've got the first world blues.

I don't need a better club to go and dull my senses at, dancing only when I'm drunk. And I don't need a wardrobe made by a store so that I can propagate it's junk. I don't need a T.V. and I don't need to find me in quizzes in the magazines. I just wanna make stuff and sing things and wake up! and now I see the first world fiends.

Said I don't get my hair done, I never want to own a gun, and water tastes better than lattes. And I don't need to combat the panic news format with empty optimism and a mock-face. I don't want another "ism" or a religion, or another system for to do my bidding's. I just wanna make a break and move beyond this sorry state, because the first world is sinking.

I don't need a savior nor is my behavior dictated by the wrath of someone else. And I don't need to make sure my assets are secure or force myself to live in hell. Said I don't need a vacation or validation through being too busy for myself. I just need to breathe and suspend this disbelief about the ominous, first world smell.
