akira the don - don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding lyrics

one of the things that’s happened in our society
is that we seem to have concluded that strong men are dangerous
and that’s partly because we think western culture is a tyrannical patriarchy
and the only reason you get to the talk is because you’ve misused power
so, all the men who are at the top of the heart are all misusing their power and they’re all tyrannical
and all the guys who have the aim and ambition to achieve that are just tyrants in training
that’s sort of basic att-tude that we have towards our own culture and towards young men now
everything about that is pathological and inexcusable and shameful
you know i used to watch kids skateboard
i liked watching those kids
i like watching skateboarders do those crazy things
because- because they’re trying to become competent
they’re facing danger
they don’t want the d-mn protective gear
it’s like no i don’t wanna wear a helmet
i want to expose myself to this dangerous
it’s not that i’m stupid
and the kids are often shoed away
it’s like wait a sec
they’re practicing being courageous
they’re practicing mastering something in the face of danger to children
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
a lot of the rebellious behavior of young men in particular which is very frowned upon in the schools it’s like that’s toxic masculinity
that horrid phrase
it’s like leave those d-mn kids alone
i used to go toronto they changed the insurance rules governing the playgrounds
parents had raised money for these d-mn playgrounds
so, nothing wrong them
they tore them all out
two weeks before school started there’s nothing but dirt and gravel
i saw the kids on top of the school
because they needed some danger
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
you go see a gymnast
like the gymnast does a flawless routine
everybody claps like mad
the judges say 9.9 and then the next person comes up and they’re screwed
it’s like 9.9 that’s basically perfect how can you do better than perfect
and then they do it
you can do better than perfect
they’re on the edge and they go out there and you know you watch them
you feel like everything they do is that much farther out into chaos than anything they’ve ever done
pushing themselves to the absolute limit of their ability
you can tell with every gesture they’re that close to making a mistake
they’ve taken this courageous step beyond their confidence and put everything on the line
when they land, they land in a way that’s unlike perfect it’s perfect +
and everybody immediately leaps to their feet
and like they get a chill
and so, what you’ve just seen is awe-inspiring
i’ve seen someone courageously move past perfection into the unknown
not only n0ble themselves but to n0ble humanity
a point near faith it’s like yes
and then it’s tens they win the gold
everybody knows what that’s like
it’s like a great musical performance
that’s being in that place where everything lines up
better than perfect
better than perfect
better than perfect
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
don’t bother children
don’t bother children
don’t
don’t
don’t bother children when they’re skateboarding
