American Culture Experiments Keep Me Lyrics

Keep Me Lyrics

Left to negotiate with no sense of knowing

When freedom over truth has
triumphed

Free to be lost and disconnected

Given as much value as
free things often are



Keep me close to you. Don't let me be
alone

Discarded but not overthrown

I'm useless, yes it's true

Keep me, fresh and new. Don't make me obsolete

I still have hands to
wash your feet

My uselessness is you



I could be worth my
weight in labor

I could be worth my death in favors

You could
monitor my list of things to do

And you could overlook my anonymous
service to you



The sum of my marketable skills

My part in
the collective will

Abilities that you would own

And use in ways I
don't condone

Produce and receive my meal

Discard me when I fall
ill



How can I profit you...

What useful thing can I do?

(Useful, useless to you)
