A Shout Into the Void
I shout at Dad, I shout at Mum
I shout because my life's humdrum
a snap snap snapping teen snare drum
I was so dumb; I was so dumb.
I shout at him, them, and others
each and everyone that smothers
I want my life, not another's
stupid mothers, stupid mothers
I shout aloud inside my mind.
I lost my job, was I sidelined?
my entire life is undermined
credit declined, credit declined.
I shout because I have to eat
I sell myself like rancid meat
I learn to practice self-deceit
walking the street, walking the street.
I shout because I'm so annoyed
this stupid world is so devoid
of feelings about life destroyed
into the void, into the void.
