#DOYOURJOB by matt burns Patriots opener The new slogan #doyourjob They keep on hammering it home Do your job Do your job Can't help but think about Hannah Arendt Eichmann The banality of evil You know, That Nazi who was on trial after the war They asked him how could he commit such atrocities I was just doing my job he said I know, I know The Patriots meant well What to do amidst deflate-gate? All you can do is Do Your Job Okay, I get that But it's just being hammered home Way too intensely All over the news All over Facebook Do your job #doyourjob It's not happening on a conscious level More in the shadowy subconscious But the more I hear the slogan The more And more I feel I'm being re-programmed Brainwashed With a philosophy of amorality
DEFLATE-GATE WAS AN INSIDE JOB* by matt burns Deflate-gate was an inside job* Multiple Superbowl wins Broken records Greatest quarterback ever Most popularity ever Things have plateaued Where to go from here? Deflate-gate was an inside job* 'Til now, it's mostly been a man's sport Women like the drama So write them some drama A scandal A soap opera Starring a dreamy hunk Tom Brady Deflate-gate was an inside job* The court battles go on And on No resolution 'Wells' reports Rulings Appeals Deflate-gate was an inside job* And just in the nick of time Right before the opener Hooray Suspension lifted Tom Brady is exonerated David beats Goliath A giant victory for Patriots nation Deflate-gate was an inside job* The new season has a new story hook Prove those haters wrong Prove those deflated balls had Nothing To do with the wins That's the story That's the drama Entertaining for the Biggest General Audience EVER Deflate-gate was an inside job* *I have no hard evidence to substantiate such claims but I'm going to use Wells report lingo and say "it's more than probable".
I STARTED WATCHING WHALE DOCUMENTARIES by matt burns I started watching whale documentaries And vowed never to watch the news again I exorcised the negative And welcomed the beautiful and positive But abandoning the news I felt stupid and uninformed I had no opinion about anything I couldn't participate in the popular conversations I guess immersing yourself in the negative In this day and age Makes you informed and smart Immersing yourself in nothing but the beautiful and positive Alienates you And makes you a dumb ass
