Give You Nothing (Tom Clement)
hey, everybody's looking but they never can see
all the angst, corruption and the dishonesty
think about the times and places you've never known
you're a manswarm atom and yet you're alone
so I give you me
I give you nothing!
so you've got a place that you can call your own
but you make a habit of carrying the stone
look around and ask someone if you're alive
you're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive
so I give you me
I give you nothing!
respectable, despicable it seems all the same
now we realize that we have nothing to say
if you're reserve is weak
audacity complete
ask yourself again "do I deserve much from them?"
no!
