| It doesn’t give you the right to |
| Co-opt my existence |
| So anything that you might do |
| Feeds into my own resistance |
| Could you be a little more concerned |
| w/ the simple things like my life |
| maybe think a little less short term |
| I’ve got enough going on in my life- & I don’t want to get |
| burned |
| I’m sorry that you were not the teacher’s pet |
| I’m sorry about the things you haven’t accomplished yet |
| I’m sorry that life is so hard for you |
| But it’s not my problem |
| So maybe you’ve got issues |
| But then who doesn’t, it’s the in thing |
| & maybe we’ll miss you |
| when the new guy comes in next spring |
| & maybe we won’t I don’t |
| expect that you’d be sorely missed |
| & maybe you should phone home |
| & tell him that your therapist was wrong |
| Anything that you might do |
| Might just get misunderstood |
| & even then when you try to |
| tell us everything is all good |
| Could you be a little more concerned |
| w/ the simple things like your life |
| maybe think a little less short term |
| You’ve got enough going on in your life- & we all got burned |
