10/18/09

sleepy eyes, and a routine morning coffee
shapes start spinning in my cup
the face of a mother and her young boy
the bright sun, swallowing their crop

they were waiting on a runway
for my plane to come
down

only for a dollar and a quarter
you and i will place an order
just one more cup of coffee
and another long year of poverty
upon their shoulders

as they're waiting on a runway
for my plane to come

the workday sure as hell aint getting shorter
meanwhile the price of my comfort aint getting any cheaper

and they're still waiting on a runway
for my plane to come
