Off Key
does it really count
if we're in the wrong line?
lousy choices get no discount
only angles which won't align
drifting off course
placing bets on the wrong horse
a singer singing out of tune
trumpet solo played on bassoon
ahead of my time
always swimming upstream
now gone well past prime
caught up in the wrong dream
expectations turn to strife
hope is unable to refresh
living someone else’s life
the gears aren’t going to mesh
spending dollars and cents
in a wasteland of digital currency
remaining in the past tense
when I should have bought a warranty
strumming a song
in the key of G
had it all wrong
the tune was in C
I turned left
when the world went right
to reality cleft
when virtuality reached its height
unpopular decision
followed by unpopular decision
trumpet solo played on bassoon
constantly out of tune
truth shall always surmount
popularity’s flash and shine
does it really count
if we're in the wrong line?
