Ingratitude Waltz Abb
INGRATITUDE WALTZ
How could you give me such extreme distress
While my care for you has always been so strong
Did I not show where you were going wrong?
When you spent such toil on your pathetic writing
I enlightened you how you were wasting time
Put you straight and got you back again in line
The expression of ideas you took delight in
But you wilfully rejected all of mine
Your rebelliousness it really was a crime
Don’t you know that you need me to make your judgement
For yours is only giving me vexation
Can’t be trusted to make self determination
You would still be in religious cult induction
If I hadn't made a plan for your salvation
For your own sake had to use incarceration
With your protests diagnosed as bipolarity
Shrinks insisted drugs and ECT were kind
Would bring you to more compliant frame of mind
And yet you now show such a lack of gratitude
All my caring seems to be misunderstood
Yet I've always done what's purely for your good
