Damage

I am done here! – who’s the wizard
That came up with all this fun?
I’m just waiting like a lizard
In the rays of blasting sun –
Who’s the victim, who’s the victor,
Who will get it in the end?
And the damage that’s inflicted –
Is it just a stupid trend?

Are you at all ever going to get what you need?
Or will you merely cave in under all this pressure?
What makes you think you can really keep up with the speed?
Why are you sure you’re the one who will get to the treasure?

Call me Jesus, call me Elvis,
Call me “prick”, or call my wife –
I am digging, I am delving
Into what is known as “life”:
Wrap it nicely, send it over,
I will hopefully be there
To receive it – clean and sober
In somebody else’s care

Take a minute, smell the roses,
Wear what you would never wear,
Never mind the pretty noses,
You've got nothing to declare
Who’s the victim, who’s the victor,
Is it just a stupid trend? -
All the damage you’ve inflicted,
My unwanted little friend!
