No Common Ground

5/26/21 Get off your high horse now Obviously we got no common ground So quick to put me down And to spread my business around The town Because you think I've been a clown People like you, I wouldn't help, I'd watch you drown Because what you got away with, should have never been allowed Which is why I must put a stop to it now You thought you've been preaching to the choir But you are playing with fire Of you I tire You disgust nearly ever fiber Of my being, truth is I'm wiser And nicer Even though I'm always getting drunk and higher Situations turned dire But I did what was required You sit there on a telephone wire Fast to call me a liar As I do my thing near and far from briar From here to way beyond the Netherlands You're off in neverland The turmoil and challenge is turning me into a better man Traveling in and out of desert sand How you treated me and others could leave you forever damned Winding up with much more than severed hand Among world wonders Often praising others It's good to see your true colors You punk ass mother f**** er Never was all cookie cutter People and animals continuing to suffer Eventually going under Meanwhile there's no end to world hunger As life keeps on getting tougher The strength and what it takes, I muster Easy tiger, way to go slugger From so much alcohol, takes some time to recover All these money grubbers And blood suckers The very thought of it makes most shudder During every Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer Oh what a bummer You always ducked for cover Or acted like you were in the midst of slumber People getting dumber and dumber Obsessed with materials and numbers
