You know what they say,
When you’ve not laughed at all
It’s the most wasted day
I see it, I’ll try, I shall
The way it’s trickling on me
It’s more than blood, much more
Happy is all I’m trying to be
I feel it, I’ll try, I lore
I’m eloping out of nothing
Stuck beneath the wrong right
If you can hear me, do something
‘Cuz I hear it, I’ll try, I fight
How could it surmount my soul?
Isn’t a thought an uninitiated deed?
I can’t find the water in my bowl
I can survive it, I’ll try, I feed
Eminent, loved and spirited – I was
Blind, numb, hungry and deaf – I am
Wealthy, wealthier, wealthiest – I was
Unfortunate, pitiable and worthy – I am
You know what they say, is true
The greed living, the man dying
And he has wasted many, many days
Oh, it’s true
It’s true.
