I'm in the scrapbook on the right hand side page 41 the moment was so fulfilling the picture says so where has it all gone I'm in the textbook a theory on worldwide truelife antibiotic rocket science I was the man who knew it all and gave it away before the truth was known optimistic egotistic neocentric self-determined overwhelmed antioxidant generic I'm on the front lines charging with a screaming throat gonna take the world over or gonna get my foolishness tackled by bullets on the way down back to where I once almost knew better YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH I've heard it all before I've seen the story played out in living color I know it I lived it I'm on the back nine cell phone ringing another deal in the works let me know something good I know it works so do the people beneath me driving chipping putting 19th hole time BUY SELL BUY SELL the people beneath me as the world gets 3 degrees colder optimistic egotistic technocentric doctors lawyers teachers generic I'm on the front page I WAS THE POINTMAN IN A HOMICIDAL RAGE push pull give take who am I not to escape or have something to show for after all I put in the dry spell led to ruin time finally overcame the ghosts have spoken I did it for my fellow man time to retire a legend not a hero steal car rob bank defy authority conceal identity take cover and a witness NOW WHO REALLY KNOWS ME anyone ANYONE nobody at all ...what's happening is it all a dream that wasn't the violence in my bed was it all in my head... ...what's happening is it losing focus...becoming unseen these were my days our days everyone's days trying to get through the maze we graze... ...what's happening what's happening what what what's going going on IS THIS WHAT MY LIFE'S COMING TO not here not now WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO...
