"It's all kinda dumb"

by Buck Bolyard

Broke the cutting board
Using a knife as a sword
I bounced around the crowd
With my big black dog
Trying to find the words to this song
It went on
And on
Till we both were screaming on the lawn
You called me way too late
while you were on that fucking date
It's all kinda dumb
Just smoking in the slums
We hurt
And love
poisoning all the doves
it's getting better
at the same time
its getting worse
No one shares love
and everyone wants to hurt
while still tossing bodies in the dirt
It's cyclical
The evidence I share is all admissible
It's all kinda dumb
