Poets - Tragically Hip

Spring starts when a heartbeat's poundin' 
When the birds can be heard above the reckonin' carts doing some final accounting 
Lava flowin' in Super Farmer's direction 
He's been gettin' reprieve from the heat in the frozen-food section (yaa-Aa)

Don't tell me what the poets are doing 
Don't tell me that they're talkin' tough 
Don't tell me that they're anti-social 
Somehow not anti-social enough, all right 

And porn speaks to it's splintered legions 
To the pink amid the withered corn stalks in them winter regions (euyeaaah)
While aiming at the archetypal father 
He said with such broad and tentative swipes why do you even bother (yeeaaah)

Don't tell me what the poets are doing 
Those Himalayas of the mind 
Don't tell me what the poets been doing 
In the long passes over time 

{ Instra } 

Don't tell me what the poets are doing 
On the street and the epitome of vague 
Don't tell me how the universe is altered 
When you find out how he gets paid, all right 
If there's nothing more that you need now 
Lawn cut by bare-breasted women 
Beach bleached towels within reach for the women gotta make it that'll make it by swimmin'
