lyrics
Nobody here asked you to stay
What do you expect me to say?
I'm old enough for experiments
But why repeat experience
I was born beyond bored with an image
Without compulsion to act savage
To later rummage through the squalor
To salvage some valid value
You prefer to stay as green as rose stems
While pondering protective divinity
My mask and cloak of grey, I won't impose them
I'll hide and watch you squander your dignity
I hope you're never young
It's like I told the babysitter
"I'm not bitter, but I'm no bullshitter."
Diversion's outweighed by the distress to
Pursue suitors or a mistress.
I look at liberated neighbors
Who put their pleasure before labors
Laughing, brandishing lavish lives
Unfazed they'll vanish, or naive
By avoiding elusive elation
I've never had to suffer devastation
I've never known a life other than vertical
I don't care what the certificates assert
I was never young, never once
