Alice actually ate an apple,
Billy broke building blocks,
Cora counted candy corn,
Donna drove decoy ducks,
Elliot's eating eggplant,
Frannie's filleting fish,
George's geeting Greta,
Harriet's hunting hornets,
Inez is irritating Ike,
Jasmine's jabbing John,
Karen's kissing Kevin,
Leon loves Luann,
Monte's mimicking Mary,
Nellie's not-so nice,
Opal's organizing origami,
Penelope's pushing Perry,
Quina's quietly quilting,
Ramona's reading romance,
Sophie's softly singing.
Humanking our species
seemingly knows no bounds
When it comes to grandiose
design's inventions and creation
Matched only by our inherent
limitless thirst and capability
for then destroying and killing
everything we built up
The only thing we seem incapable
of doing is loving thy neighbor
and geeting along in peace
and harmony
And this is not fresh new
information or a revelation
Worst of all is if history
has not taught us any
lesson at all
Is that if we haven't
found a means of how to
resolve or fix the problem
Of our eternal relentless
bloodlust by now
We probably sadly never will
I'M AFRAID
I'M AFRAID OF LIFE
I'M AFRAID OF MYSELF
I'M AFRAID OF YOU WALKING OUT
I'M AFRAID OF DISAPPOINTMENT
I'M AFRAID OF LOSING YOU
I'M AFRAID OF GIVIN YOU TRUST
I'M AFRAID OF GIVIN YOU RESPECT
I'M AFRAID OF YOU NOT COMING BACK
I'M AFRAID OF BEEING RIPPED APART
I'M AFRAID OF BEEING PUT DOWN
I'M AFRAID OF BEEING PUSHED AWAY
I'M AFEAID OF EVERYONE GIVING UP
I'M AFRAID OF MY LIFE GEETING WORSE
It's kinda of a drag.
Ya once were the mean spirted prom queen .
Now your just another bitter old hag.
That six pack led to a DUI.
Busted for skinny dipping down at the malls fountian.
Really do ya need to question why.
That Motley Crue shirt dont fit like it did
in eigthy two.
That comb over isnt foolin anybody Donald
bout time to buy a clue.
Hey grandpa this party's for teens so put down the cup.
Maybe instead of thinking bout scoring.
You ought to think about growing up.
darlin it was cute back when you were nineteen.
But after about seven husbans and ten kids.
Well you more ressemble a worn out drag queen.
Geeting wasted was cool for awhile cause im no
stranger to the crawl.
But hey Axl it's been many a year and beer
since headbangers ball.
Yeah I confess I myself am no longer a pup.
So enjoy it while ya can.
Cause it really sucks growing up.
