When it first happened The absurd action turned as curd does Air sour shared in a shower of stares A coward to devour a hare Wearing a sheep's skin He peeks in and sees the company that keeps him Blunted on the hunt they seek weak men Running on the train for the hundreds and change Let's see them take it from me again I'll believe you can help me survive And remind me that I'm still a man With his brim slanted His slim standing grinning within Handed his jim to the kid at the window As the answers we spin on CNN Call him a friend when it calls you again The drawls we defend falling to the floor on our men Or the pen writing on the walls we suspend We tell ourselves we'll never do it again I'll believe you can help me survive And remind me that I'm still a man Now I don't know what's more useless The truth when it's truth-less The youth's only enemy Wasted energy and excuses Always with somebody to blame In a lottery sorry you're the only body to claim Now there the proof is Now tell me where the roof is I'll tare a hole in it before I ever leave my true friends And don't even question me on family The weak end can't handle me
