Filling the Void

What the heck is “Wishbone Ash”?

This refrain is oh so dull

The melody is non-sensical

And it warbles through my skull

Why does every band you love

Have some granola/hippie blend

Of spiritual love and nature

That I just can’t comprehend

Because you are such a tyrant

Logic’s own cold sycophant

Perhaps this music speaks to you

Because your mannerisms can’t?

When it’s my pick for tunes

You complain it’s only noise

They’re loud, angry, sullen

In a darkness no one enjoys

You hate their chanting lyrics

You think some are anti-fem

And when I scream along I know

I don’t match your image of them

But maybe my happy exterior

Hides a deeper, maddened core

Like your refrigerator heart

Seeks a warmer type of score

We don’t begrudge our choices

I know we’ve had this talk

Just remember don’t play Dylan

’Cause I swear to god I’ll walk...
