Life Is Like a Toaster

Ever since my early days of youth I've been questioning All the hidden secrets of life And exactly what it means So imagine my excitement When I climbed the mountain top And asked the man of wisdom Just what it is he thought Where he said... Life is like a toaster With people dropping in and popping out Some may stay in the heat of life for too long And find themselves burned out Life is like a toaster If you're kept down long enough The heat that's applied to your outsides Only strengthens your inner crust Life is like a toaster Some people are shiny on the outside But lift them up and what you see Are the crumbs they leave behind After all these years of searching I climbed high enough to learn the truth With the meaning of life now by my side I knew just what I had to do I went straight back home to my people The ones that I could help the most I started at the local breakfast diner Where I ordered up some toast
