My Poor Friend Me

歌詞

I know a man who doesn't have many friends I know a place he lives where trouble never ends I know it's hard for him to read between the lines And his days are getting so much shorter He simply turns away and dons a bitter frown His world is crumbling, his ship is waited down He doesn't care as long as he can wear the crown I know this man all too well It's my poor friend me A portrayal of the great dichotomy It's my poor friend me And I'm running out of steam I know there are people who are cynical and vain They point their finger 'cause they can't accept the blame They live their lives under a blanket of shame And their progeny crawl from underneath it Lately I've come to see the solution And it begins with me But I'm so fallibly human I'll pick the lock but will not turn the key All people running scared, we live, breathe, and die All too aware that time is slipping on by We have solutions but don't even try And I feel I know just who to blame It's my poor friend me A reminder of a tragic history It's my poor friend me And I'm running out of steam
