about

I wrote this in 1982 for an art/punk/funk band called Kinetic Ritual. It was about people creating art that had nothing to say. John Lennon said that was ok. I said it wasn't.

lyrics

Search for meaning / cul de sac
Search for meaning / double back
No excuses / no regrets
But all you can tell me / is you're not dead yet

Cool and tasty / green delight
Pick o' the litter / drink in the sights
Charge your pleasure / on your Mastercard
With any luck, who knows, tonight / you might be hard

Got nothing to say, it's not OK (4x)

Self-indictment / pointed guilt
Watch it tumble / watch it built
Law and order / never wins
Pride and malice / double sins (double sins)

Got nothing to say, it's not OK (8x)
