as moving targets go

as moving targets go

A Poem by Joseph B Clipper

"
BUT THERE ARE ONLY TWO STATES...LIVE OR DEAD
YOU DONT GET MUCH Choice, THEY JUST PUT YOU TO BED
I KNOCK'EM DOWN AS MOVING TARGETS GO
THEY JUST POP BACK UP, MAN IS THIS A JOKE
BUT ITS THE ONLY GAME YOU'LL FIND IN THIS TOWN
I NEVER SAID IT WAS THE BEST AROUND
DOWN IN THE MUSIC WHERE NOTHING IS REALLY LIVING
UNDER THE MERCILESS BEAT, SO UNFORGIVING
THIS IS A CARNIVAL OF Carnivores
THIS IS A FREAK SHOW
YOU CANT EVEN PULL THE TRIGGER
AS MOVING TARGETS GO


CIRCA 1989
