Alas, we never stood a chance
Bedsit solipsistic misfits
We petulant pains in the a**
Dreams like this, they're just not built to last
The breast-fed & too well-fed
Left we two completely out-cla**ed
We gave this the best years of our lives
& truth is, with all due deference
I can't see why we'd be surprised
"This kid can't sing to save his life...
Too stiff & dead pretentious"
I bet you get this all the time
Forgive this casual aside
& with it this filthy witness
That I so love to hide behind
Come now kid, don't look so surprised
The truth is, these thighs I ply
Tend to wait for the whites of your eyes
Oh no, there I've said it again
& I'm fine to serve my time
For libelous rhymes I've since spread
Some things are better left unsaid
You've had your fun, but surely son
No one's holding a gun to your head
How long must we be strung along?
False starts & broken hearts
I suppose that you've known all along
Where did we ever go so wrong?
My voice is shot, but I'll sing to the lot
God give me strength to go on
