Sick and Afraid
Gota find a way, a better way to
live, because i`m paranoid about
YOU PEOPLE!
You scare me by the way you live
not noticing me even when you step
OVER ME!
I don`t care what you think of me.
You give me power by allowing me to infect
YOUR MIND!
You are not unlike me, you know, for you
are just one paycheck away from
BEING ME!
So throw me a quarter if you want. Does it make
you feel better about helping me or
HELPING YOU!
What do you tel our kids at night when you
tucK them in their rosy beds. Do you tell them
I`M SICK?
Well, whatever, i suppose i am. The point is
i`m paranoid about you people and your
lives that i forgot to live. You just don`t know
what it means to be
ME!
