"41 shots"
Sounds and feelings
of uninhibited hard travellin'
alienated marginalised youth livin fast
goin nowhere
cars and girls
give way to thoughts of neglect
of girlfriends feelings
working class people making ends meet amidst
sex
lust
love
death
in emotionally centred lyrics
crossing Americas' racial borders
never reachin' golden mixed -race end
identity
multifaceted divided self
alternating expected and darker
activities without guilt
ambivalence self- doubt
the artist as magician
conjuring and struggling against
the horror of a wasted life
deconstructiing societys' masks
while politicians
whistle without listening
Johnny 99
desolation
dispossesion
lonesome outlaws in
acoustic blues solo sets
evolves into
commercial Kovic representatiion
and howls of depair
for Americas' vanquished soul
