Sharpen Sticks
#4 of Po-eems
Very much inspired by the Tank Girl comics by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. I remember writing this after reading "The Royal Escape."
Sharpen Sticks
Sharpen sticks
They're not going to stop us
They're not going to change us
They're missing the big picture
Because they're all poisoned
And blind
Sharpen sticks
We're all out of ammo
And the tea kettle's run dry
One leg broken, both eyes bruised
And this splinter is pissing me off
No hope, no salvation
The enemy is at the gates
Having a poo on the doorstep
Sharpen sticks
The army advances over the hill
Better get your slingshots and spitballs ready
It won't matter if they want us
Dead or alive
They'll have to take us in pieces
Bloody screaming pieces
Sharpen sticks
Because the fight is never over
Until you're back home
Soaking in the bathtub
Sharpen sticks
Sharpen sticks
Get those goddamn sticks sharpened!
