The surgery took no time
I had it before Friday
A test in elocution
For better rhyming couplets
We'll all survive
To let it spill out
At the sermon
Earnest in intention
Crass in execution
Cigarettes and Prozac
Blinkering my vision
But if we'd have started years ago
Would we still be here today?
Am I sweeter than the innocence you took from me?
Am I a card to play, or throw away?
Away, somewhere
Lost at noughts and crosses
Downstairs clinking glasses
Let me through the window
Tell them nothing happened
But if we'd have started years ago
Would we still be here today?
As we tossed the coin it froze and crystallized
But we never took the picture
And if all this gets any more hard
And time starts standing still
Then I'll wave the wand of innocence
While you plead
And blow us all to hell
But until then...
