Pissed off today

July 30, 2022

In these days when things feel so uncertain,
In these days when we are tired of the strife.
I think back to when the world felt unburdened,
I can’t help but wish for that happier life.

When did crazy come out of the woodwork?
When did we stop caring about our fellow man?
When did we give license to be an ass or a jerk?
Being cruel and selfish just because we can.

Don’t push me onto the tracks my friend,
My body, it really is only my own.
Why do you get to attack my rights, my friend?
Look to yourself before you cast the first stone.

Don’t push me onto the tracks, my friend
Relax, go eat an ice cream cone.
You really don’t want to get into this fight, my friend,
Turn away and leave well enough alone.

And these days when everyone coughs around me,
And I am the only one that seems to still wear a mask?
If I hear of another person getting shot, believe you me,
I am going to tear another hole in someone’s ass.

And crazy shiit comes out of the woodwork,
Just pus from the latest unscrupulous scam.
It really is about evil, not just a passing quirk,
And they hope you don’t give a damn.

And because the crazy still comes out of the woodwork,
We have to make a difference, because we can.
When they are cruel and being asshole jerks,
Don’t ignore them, or just pray for your fellow man.

When the crazy comes out of the woodwork,
That is the clarion call for us to join the band.
From this confrontation we should never shirk,
Make a fist and shield a friend, it is time to take a stand.
