Sometimes a man,
Ain't all he's supposed to be!
Sometimes we fall,
Can't count 1, 2, 3.
I beg your forgiveness,
To just let me be...
/////////////////////////
I saw a little girl die,
Crickets chirrupped quietly,
Cuz no one knew her name.
I felt the pain just the same.
And I write this for you,
Cuz..well cuz,
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Sometimes a man
Ain't all he's stacked up to be!
Sometimes we fail,
Can't count 1 to 3.
Bless me Lord,
I just can't see.
/////////////////////////
The world is dying,
Bees are mostlygone,
Sunshine beckons me,
But it's all but death, ya see.
Black Betty hymnal rocks quietly in my head,
Whilst I reach for my final beer..cuz..hell, cuz
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Sometimes a man,
He ain't cut out to be,
Strong when he's alone!
Madly counting 1, 2, 3.
Comfort me in your prayer,
My soul no longer wants to be.
////////////////////////////
The sun beats down on me,
I feel the clown laugh in glee,
For there's no more shade or tree..
I mumble 1 to 3,
The oceans are gone
Nothing left you see!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Sometimes men,
They just aren't meant to be,
Dinosaurs...
