“Yes” is just a word, its power is absurd,
Darken when it’s missing, and brighten when it’s heard
Some people never hear it, ever simple, ever clean
If and when they really need it, Yes is nowhere to be seen
But if they keep on pushing and they're faithful to their dream
The Yes's start to dominate, they propagate,
They duplicate, they
Soon become contagious like a sweet benign disease,
The person in the mirror is the one we need to please
Here comes the Yes, in her summer party dress,
She knows you she blows you her kisses on the sly,
Here comes the yes in a summer party dress,
She shows you she grows you the stuff that gets you high
“No”’s a thing they say, get the powerless to stay that way,
They machinate in the night time as righteous pricks by day
Bureaucrats and slavers sharpen up their sabers,
The fingers on the scales have never done you any favors,
Look at what you see, Trust your eyes, Hear the sighs,
Of another generation of a broken class,
Opening their thighs,
Over and over and over again to keep you at a distance
I asking you to be open to a path of more resistance
See her in the sun, she says she’s only teasing,
She needs just one more reason to kiss you in the sand,
She’s yours yours yours for the taking if you dare
To kick another door down,
Who gives a care if it’s the right one?
Will that be your consolation?
Nobody's blowing kisses to you in the middle of the night...
