Society Is One Person, With Whom I'D Like To Chat.

And no, sir, don’t you point that thing at me You’re talking to no fool, might I tell you I’ve been taught better, learned better So may you know that I won’t be taken as few. Sometimes I’d like to think I’m flying Through a time and space so far from here And this life is nothing but my imagination Whilst the world spins in its violent frenzy Teetering and tottering on the latest tragedies I rest upon the clouds and breathe in the purest air Unscathed by poisons, never touched by heathens Most natural by definition Why, no ma’am, I will not settle for less I know my own worth, and I’ve paid quite a price for it I cannot be expected to stoop to any lower ground My capabilities are quite more than you may get. I like to think of a time long passed When potbellied children run rampant across a field And I am following in barefoot toes outstretched Each step a new discovery, a brave adventure The world whistling past my ears, birdsong, grass symphony My heart unbroken, aspiration unlimited, judgments not made The world is larger than life and me holding the reins to it all The purest that innocence has known Yes, sir, yes ma’am, I do agree Things change, circumstance captures hope, love is lost Life is not always what we make it out to be from the start But no, sir, nor ma’am, I will not give up, give in to it, to you Cause mine is a hope as strong as mountains, a love as long as time, and a mind far too good for that.
