Oskar's Drum Say No
Say no in a haircut
Say no in your morning song
Say no in your walk to the park in the morning
Say no in your poem
Saying no on badges
Saying no, over and over again
Saying no, until it's numbing
And the lights come up at the end of the show
And the lights come up and it's time to go
Say no
It's tiring but resistance
Is the joy of holding your breath
Until the orange man is frozen
Reaches enlightenment or death
The terrible beauty of a tiger's teeth
A bird pecking on glass
The snow falling in Outer Mongolia
The rainbow at your baby's birth
All gone
Let's sing no in the morning
Let's sing no together at night
On the streets where we silently gather
Till the lights come up at the end of the show
Till the lights come up and it's time to go
