American Culture Experiments - Keep Me Lyrics
Left to negotiate with no sense of knowingWhen freedom over truth has triumphedFree to be lost and disconnectedGiven as much value as free things often areKeep me close to you. Don't let me be aloneDiscarded but not overthrownI'm useless, yes it's trueKeep me, fresh and new. Don't make me obsoleteI still have hands to wash your feetMy uselessness is youI could be worth my weight in laborI could be worth my death in favorsYou could monitor my list of things to doAnd you could overlook my anonymous service to youThe sum of my marketable skillsMy part in the collective willAbilities that you would ownAnd use in ways I don't condoneProduce and receive my mealDiscard me when I fall illHow can I profit you...What useful thing can I do?(Useful, useless to you)
