Irony of Kindness
Nobody appreciates
The best things that you do.
But if you'll make a mistake,
It's as controversial as news.
Trying to please people
Such an important thing!
But if you'll stain your own shirt,
You'll be an embarrassing thing.
As filthy as mud
That's how they look at you
Because your precise manners matter
It's such a big deal!
What's weird bout' living?
They don't see what've you done
The whole massacre in your closet
Always brings back to life
