54-40 - Lost And Lazy lyrics

Mother is this my gift flowing in nature Like the Buddha accepting the term This is destruction the theory creation And the people watch what they want Thank you but I'm well enough by now Though I'd like to change into someone better Someone mother would never know This is mutation, self-mutilation And the purge of love it costs too much Thank you but I'm well enough I know I say I'm lost cause I'm lazy Say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse not even my own I picked it up to be left alone Now I'm in the presence the greatest indifference Being wise being old They can find you out when you get too loud And you start to weep for love and peace Thank you but I'm well enough I know I say I'm lost and I may be I say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse not even my own I picked it up to be left alone I say I'm lost and I may be Say I'm caught but I'm not It's an excuse not even the truth I picked it up to get away from you
