Nothing you say is sensible I can sense the bull And since the wolves, amongst the sheep Before I sleep I fence them in and count them each Drifting away atop a Z I float, down the creek Out to the sea Lost in a dream On a cloud of mystery …then flash With my eyes to the ceiling I’m back to memories of misery Wondering if she’s even missing me.

Some parents apparently weren’t thrilled about that. One local grandparent had two words for what this video was pushing on white kids.
