Altercations, situations, aggrevations Rain on my parade Can you pour me a gla** of that fine Whining about, someway somehow, getting up out Common place charades Can you cut me that practical slice Oh, I know Your gla** seems half empty Take a breath, look to the left And under that tree Have you seen the night in the eyes of those boys Chasing them lightning bugs a step behind Told me that they gonna conquer The world one bug at a time
They ain't far behind Reservations, complications, hesitations Through but so weak Let me tell you where you missed the Marking x's and your o's, your words just show A self-saturated leak Let me give you a list of ways to tweak Sir, I don't apologize for being forward But those boys, those boys, they keep on teaching me Folks they gotta have something they movin' towards Swapping limitations for their destiny
