Be Better

Mother says she’s leaving
she says she has to go
I find it hard believing
That two rights can make a wrong
And how we’ll learn to get along

The narrative that’s weaving
is that we’re near the end
It’s all so aggrieving
Mother don’t you fade so fast
And leave me with this psychopath

Give me another shot
at a second chance
To rearrange
this circumstance
no script to follow
to the letter
Let’s you and I just both … be better

The icy river still must flow
Despite the leak within
It trickles through the valley below
Another wife I bid auf wiedersehen
I’m looking like Drew Peterson

This crown you give is so ill-fitting
The weight, I cannot bear
Don’t ask me but from where I’m sitting
There’s inextinguished rage within
Dr Janov’s work is cut out for him

Such gaiety
eludes me so
I find I’ve got
nowhere to go
Don’t want milquetoast
with my jam
So just where do we stand

The winter is long ’round these parts
Before the black water it starts to flow
Do I go home or retire somewhere
And get to work on my manifesto

Give me another shot
at a second chance
To rearrange
this circumstance
no script to follow
to the letter
Let’s you and I just both… be better

mother says she’s leeeaving!
be better!
