I was not adequately equipped
for this life, these people.
I don’t see how anybody could.
Some, just by being fools are evil.
Some, just by being cowards are good.
-CHORUS
And I don’t think it’s right
but I’ve seen it every day.
I always used to fight.
Now I usually run away.
Running running running
Like I’m running out of time.
Like there’s a fish on the line.
Like I’m feeling fine. I’m running.
there’s a mathematical proof
taking up half the room
it’s written on the walls
and makes it clear
The more I share
the less i’m there
the less i’m there
the more i disappear

Oh boy, I’ve got good news
and I want you to hear it
but I know you won’t hear it from me.
So I’ve been painting all the flowers,
been singing with the crickets.
Been the waving barley in the breeze.
Alt Verses
All the chatterballing socialites
slaughtered a singer
who was just standing in the corner with a song.
All the artists got together
and sent in a ringer
who just got back, won’t tell us what went on.
