Used. Car. Salesmen.

From: Social commentary

By Mat BarnsleyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

You complain about all the little things,

Whilst people die out on the streets.

It must be so lovely for you in life -

To only worry about which sushi to eat!

You think you're perfect in every single way,

But the tie of your soul is crooked.

You think people care about the things that you say -

But they don't, they think you're insipid...

Your hands love you more than anyone else,

And your palms are delightfully smooth.

But try being nice to other people's lives -

Instead of being incredibly rude!

I think honestly you must be a lonely man,

To judge people when they're out of ear,

And It must be so easy looking out -

When your window's a reflecting mirror
