Subway Stories – Last Nerve, Worked. #OWS

October 18, 2011 By Andre Archimbaud

Stand in the corner…I was told.
Do unto us…so bold.
Face down in the problems you made.
All I had, I gave.

Last nerve, worked…
Left it on the field.
Last nerve, worked.
Troubles yet to wield.

Quiet were my ways.
No time left to save.
Hidden, caught up in the maze.
Work my way out of this phase.

Last nerve, worked…
I gave at the office.
Last nerve, worked.
Turned into a coffin.

Putting my life together
Thought I was doing what was right.
Turned out your might made my might right.

You will not have the last word.
Will not turn the world to the absurd.
The meek…the proud.
The few, so loud.

Last nerve, worked…
Time to cut one’s losses.
Last nerve, worked.
Overturn the bosses.

It is ours…and yours too.
C’mon along…you’ll remember you.
The one you’d set out to be.
The one that was born free.
In a land of the free and home of the brave.
Hope it’s not too late to save…

Last nerve, worked…
