WE NEEDN'T BOTHER: danielle savage. sept. 8&9, 2010

We needn't bother with clever urban planners, or more architects merely fanning out the feathers of a great, grandiose, but altogether trite, even if decorous design, made to lay out all the details, of the human landscape within these walls, within the world and the space form which it draws, now, every last bit of the air we breathe, and every pre-meditated little seed, that's propelling us forward with big ideas, bigger sacks of food and bigger wheels on our big new trucks that take you to and fro on wider roads which help to ship the goods you know, but is it bringing you home? Is it getting you closer, to the freedom you long to own? oh perhaps

Oh, we needn't bother at all, if it's not for the sake of a good story. Said what's your motivation if you can't get a breath of air, then oooh, you needn't bother at all.

We needn't mess around so messily with big machines and destructive dreams, of revamping, stamping, reordering and championing the globe, and then beyond! into brand new homes and businesses, all suited to your particular income level and made to lease-to-own, and then flip for something bigger and better gonna get prepared to bake the batter and then knead it, beat it, roll our the land and weed it, pave it deprave it, and waive our right to change it. And if you can't breathe, but for the lack of natural scenery, blame it on fashion, it's much more in vogue to erect strip malls you know, you gotta have a place to call your own


But oh! you needn't bother building it at all--if it aint what you really want and it aint built to last--said what's the motivation if you aint even gonna spend any time there, then woah, you needn't bother at all


We needn't try ourselves with every obligation that only serves the attitude, and a highly over-rated one, that more is better and bigger serves a better man, and you better work to make sure you get the better end of the big stick we all biting down on, our jaws are clenched and we tugging hard to get it on our side, oh to gain impunity, from being taken for a ride, oh, because no one wants to be a sucker--- but to be so averted to ones own vulnerability as to adopt an air of almost callous flippancy, oh you've got to be off your rocker, and that's why i maintain that


oh, we needn't bother at all, I can't see for whose sake it'd be worth it. Said drop the motivations and come out for a breath of air--oh, you needn't bother at all


said oh, we needn't bother at all. If it's not for the sake of your enjoyment. What's the motivation if you can't get a breath of air, oh, oh, we needn't bother at ah-ah-ah-all.
