Street Fighting Man

Liberals and conservatives have been battling forever, it seems. These days it's worse than ever. We all bitch and moan, vote for this guy or that woman, protest, march, boycott, sign petitions, post ad nauseam on social media. We lose friends, alienate family, people even end up dead over it all. Yet have you noticed, no one ever seems to get what they want, on either side? Nothing ever really changes, and if it does, in four years it changes back? Abortions are legal, and guns are everywhere, health insurance is still a mess, football players are still standing or sitting or whatever they're doing that pisses one side off and makes the other side defend them. People still get welfare, others can't get the help they need, some segments of the population have no rights and some are entitled. There's no wall, terrorism is still a thing, racism is everywhere, the poor still live on the streets, veterans are still getting the shitty end of the stick, and the news media is a joke. The only constant in all this is that wars get fought, and the rich keep getting richer, and our rights and piece of the pie keep getting a little bit smaller all the time. How stupid is everyone? How much are we all neck deep in denial and arrested development that we can't seem to figure this out? 
Who knows? All I know is that nothing is really going to change without some sort of revolution, and I don't think the fat and lazy population really has it in them. So whatever, let's just eat each other until there's nothing left for the rest of them. Or maybe we can just eat them instead. That's quickly becoming the only choice I can see. 
What can a poor boy do, except play for a rock and roll band ...
