57

Hell is Other people
So now rise up Lazarus and Just Be yourself learn learn
To talk and laugh at Yourself, Lazarus
From the dead of the commons From the rotten flesh of the others among the rest Rise up Rise up And be yourself again
A pine among the redwoods A duck among the geese
Don’t bother now Being yourself is redemption enough
