I'm just jealous
If you have a picture, don’t paint it
If you have a song, don’t sing it
If you have an idea, don’t share it,
and don’t think about it,
and don’t wear it.
If you have a voice, don’t use it
If you have a partner, don’t love it
If you have a hand, don’t use it
And don’t give it,
And don’t choose it.
If you have a job, don’t do it
If you have a dream, don’t pursue it
If you have a goal, don’t reach it
And don’t plan for it,
And don’t preach it.
Because life is so short and so hard and so aching.
And chances for worthings are lost in the taking,
And who do you think you are anyway?
Are you better than me,
With your curds and your whey?
And if you make a dollar
And I make a dime
And you get an hour and I’m out of time
Then how do I tell to my family and kids
That the world is their shellfish of selfishlessness
So do me a favor next time you get smart
And you pat your own backside
And buy some new art
The world is not equal as you’d like to believe
And you sir, well, I’ll see you around.
