Immodest Winner of Ten Cents
John Kennedy

“Hah!” he said, “amusing tone!
Dare to sigh and sore bemoan
The sorry lot cast to you?
Better if it were untrue
So that none would know or care
Of your sad loss caught unaware.

“Greedily you hoard your pain
And I cannot just refrain
To allow ignorant pride.
I must tell you why you tried
And failed; you have lost, you lose
For me, your loss will long amuse.”

He thought his satisfaction,
a draw to pain’s attraction,
was a straw to break my back.
Little did he know, the lack
Of care I had was immense
For the winner of about ten cents.

  • Punk ain't no religious cult
    Punk means thinking for yourself
    You ain't hardcore ‘coz you spike your hair
    When a jock still lives inside your head

    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks--Fuck Off!
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks
    Nazi punks--Fuck Off!

    If you've come to fight, get outta here
    You ain't no better than the bouncers
    We ain't trying to be police
    When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy

    Nazi punks…

    Ten guys jump one, what a man
    You fight each other, the police state wins
    Stab your backs when you trash our halls
    Trash a bank if you've got real balls

    You still think swastikas look cool
    The real nazis run your schools
    They're coaches, businessmen and cops
    In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

    Nazi punks…

    You'll be the first to go
    You'll be the first to go
    You'll be the first to go
    Unless you think...

  • A curious juxtaposition of poems there. :D
  • Mine was a Dead Kennedy's song, I just thought it would go with the other one but now I am not so sure :)

    My name is John Kennedy, so it does indeed go with my poem. The very name of the band correlates to the writer of my poem :).

  • I have a sudden urge to play "Yield"... :D
  • rubyruby Posts: 103
    Yield... trying to think why...I haven't listened to it in too long and I think it's my favourite album.

    Brain of J?

    :)
  • didn't Eddie say that Brain of J was named Brain of JFK but they couldn't name it that for some reason??

    That was a Dead Kennedy-esque moment for Pearl Jam.

  • it was indeed called brain of JFK. it started as a jam they would do live while eddie made up some shit and evolved into the album version. though i've no idea why they changed the name.
    If there was a chair in which I could comprehend, I would stand always and embrace the path
