I need a rich girl

I need a rich girl
to drive my deceased car
to the unemployment line,
so that I can get food stamps
and avoid a job.

I need a pill that will
fill me up, not with envy.
I need a pill that will
make me feel friendly,
not want to kill

I need a friend,
in these united states
of isolation
where, even hell s angels
are afraid to hitchhike,
where thinking
outside the norm
could land you in jail.

I need a reason
to go on living,
and I think that
my children will do.
