Engaging Pity Need No Ones Help

Orthopedic shoes
A life time of paying dues
Engaging pity need no ones help
It’s useless to choose
More winning than lose
What have we too done
Stop watching me run
Engaging pity need no ones help
Stop pitying me
Stop engaging me in your imagines
Engaging pity need no ones help
I am old again
This is known again
It’s useless to choose
More winning than lose
Engaging pity need no ones help
What have we too done
Now for all I’ve ever done or did
If you’re sleepy then go to bed
I’m gonna stay up till dawn
Cause I am grown
Engaging pity need no ones help
