Bet you never knew I could be so impulsive
Succulent Mayonaise on my sandwhich, between the meat and pickles and the cheese, is all I can taste on my sandwhich. I'm seventeen to thirty-five, white, American, male, English language. Give me any piece of paper and I'll sign the dotted line. I'll be another for the archives. See, I look to my left, and I look to my write, and all I see is me from the corner of my eye. Black suit and black tie to the party, is what I choose to wear as people stop and stare at some other guy at the party. I'm 5'6 to 6'4 and I way just a bit more than I should. I'll stand by the cold drinks and pray that my phone rings. So I can excuse myself, cause that's what everybody else does. So I reach into my coat and grab a klean-x to whipe the sweat from my forehead. They say I'm normal. No debts left ode, no car's been toed. They say I'm a novel citizen because I work to pay my rent. But I brush my teeth on a sunday afternoon, read the paper, well, just the sports and cartoons. I find I'm not angsty, but I just want my due....So I aim and squeeze and shoot....
I shave my chin hairs in the mirror and they fall down to the sink like "splicky splash" And I comb my side hairs in the mirror. Watch TV, check email and wave out to the kids that are playing outside, and I smile. But the face is painted on and it will not last long. For soon the heat will come and melt it all away. And the people will say, "Wow"j when they see my true face. They say I'm normal. Because I wear a robe and own a stove. They say I'm a novel citizen because I own a bible. But on that sunday, after I brush my teeth, I throw down the paper and head for the streets. And I run out bear-foot, I say fuck it to shoes...and I aim and squeeze and shoot....
They say I'm normal. My family's rich, so I don't know 'ish' They say I'm normal......Well here's to normal. Just like me, everyone's sanity they loose. And just like me, everyone falls to booze And just like me, everyone aims and squeezes and shoots.
But how many do it without shoes? |
