A song I dedicate unto those who share my need
to give their all - and should they fall strive on til they succeed.
though my belly aches with hunger - weary limbs tremble and shiver
I`d rather go where waters flow - no well beside the river.
It`s spur has driven some to Hell on an unbridled desire
no pain - no gain - the strongest chain`s forged in the hottest fire
I pity you - who`s eyes so blue have never known ambition
yet can spit your judgment at me like some crazed, despotic queen
This dull existence merely half-life- (a glazed comatose condition)
too scary to try - so born to die sat at your sewing machine
Discontentedly accepting all the world`s prepared to give her
it`s fate that she stagnates just like a well beside the river
Life`s one almighty, ducking - school we`ve built with our own hands.
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
`cause either way we`re damned.
I`m so proud to be the tupping fool - your foul, fantastic freak,
at least each moment I`ve spent on this earth was totally unique.
So little man with such big plans to stand upon the stage,
Why do you squabble in the dirt - you should be reaching for a star?
By far the greatest gift that I can give on making the front page,
it is: instead of punching faces why not practice your guitar.
More beauty has been composed than jealousy can tear and sliver.
Wilst troubled waters bubble - you`re a well beside the river
Life`s one almighty, ducking - school we`ve built with our own hands.
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
`cause either way we`re damned.
I`m so proud to be the tupping fool - your foul, fantastic freak,
at least each moment I`ve spent on this earth was totally unique.
There`s a dirty job I`ve done for all my life without
time-off called being me.
Though the hours are long and my pay is poor - I can`t resign it`s
all I`m qualified to be!
Life`s one almighty, ducking - school we`ve built with our own hands.
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
`cause either way we`re damned.
I`m so proud to be the tupping fool - your foul, fantastic freak,
at least each moment I`ve spent on this earth was totally unique.
Though my belly aches with hunger - weary limbs tremble and shiver,
I`d rather go where waters flow - no well beside the river.
