Don’t Go Crying

cry on your own

Don't cry in the real world

Don't go in the real world

you're on your own in the real world

crying to your mama 'Cause the real world

go to your own world

go to your own real world

you're real

to your mama you're real

'Cause you're you

mama you're the world

Don't cry mama

Don't go mama

crying

A repeated erasure of the line, “Don't go crying to your mama 'Cause you're on your own in the real world,” from the song “Ain’t It Fun” by Paramore

Written September 2023, for my 2023 appearance on Interprotations, a Tyler Hawes event, where three different artists covered/interpreted the same set list in very different ways.
