It must be nice to be young and have friends,
to have planned ahead for our retirement,
maybe a shotgun is my solution,
under the circumstances, Hemingway
stuck to his guns, no one feels depression,
to say they know what I was going through,
babies born, I'll never be a father,
even if the world has too many kids,
never felt listened to or understood,
if I see you suffer, I don't know why,
compassion isn't my strong suit, I care
even if I can't show you my feelings,
talk to me about your next vacation,
of course, I've never been on one myself,
believe me when I say, "Nobody cares,"
even my family are complete strangers,
yes, you played the ethnic card well, I get
on the bus and head straight for the back seat,
under request, do my civic duty,
nobody cares if they can't make a buck,
give me a medal I would never want,
ask me what I really want, I'll tell you,
never to have been born, like that movie,
death means nothing within the big picture,
honestly, I've never met an honest
and forthright person in my life, but then,
venality is an absurd concept,
everyone now has their hand in the pot,
forget punishment and reward, ethics
rewrites the rules for each generation,
in my time, sell-out meant betrayal of values,
enter the new era, nobody cares,
nine year olds make millions reviewing toys,
despite being exploited by parents
serving their child's needs, who's kidding who, now?
