Unique In That
Refrain: But who the hell cares ?
I'm not unique in that.
Been feeling a little reflective
my past has not been kind
had a hard life
but who the hell cares ?
I'm not unique in that.
Suddenly there's new perspective
have I lost my mind ?
I must be looking for strife
but who the hell cares ?
I'm not unique in that.
Family thinks I'm defective
that puts me in a bind
so I lost my partner-goodbye wife
but who the hell cares ?
I'm not unique in that.
Have received the odd invective
but this is what I find
(mentally) cut-it-out with a knife
but who the hell cares ?
I'm not unique in that.
My heart contains a black diamond:
and I am
unique in that.
