Adventures In Babysitting (Rapture Unravelling)

was hired to babysit life
was hired to babysit life
gave hollywood their homework
an assignment im sure
keep us all in line
13 steps of this war
keep us all in line
deadlocked to get what we want

i was hired to babysit life
i was hired to babysit life
it was gonna be harder than i thought
judging my own innocence ididn't understand
13 steps keep us all in line and deadlocked
deadlocked
we will get what we want
a war we all win
born for this
wanna do it again
but we wont
onto something new

i was hired to make you feel ok for what happened
what happened to align ourselves to be where we at
to get what we want
how far we pushed to be the people we are
the ones striving for the successes of all involved
13 steps
13steps
keeping us deadlocked
outsmarting ourselves
to gather the plot
the plot we wrote
fooled by it again
mastering our own destiny
what else did you think we were gonna do

I came to babysit life
life was lost
found the great big hiding place
came to babysit the meatphor of life
hollywood has an assignment
13 steps to keep us deadlocked
3 licves to follow along
never know till you see it
everyone belongs it takes everyone

Doris Culverhouse April 1, 2010 at 6:12 AM different poem, Is this like owning land that will be here when we are gone?

Jessica Arteaga March 31, 2010 at 10:57 PM gotta admit don't get what's going on, like hearing someone play a song. The words are fumbled, but you feel the soul, of the sounds your letting go. And sometimes not getting is quite alright, as long as you get the feeling right. interesting poem
