Stranger Times
Strange days
and even stranger nights
with even strangers at my door,
and the way they steal
really makes me reel
I guess it proves they're really poor;
and what I see
really irks my soul,
guess one could say I've been to "school",
Because what I've got
is it's there-then it's not !
I'm being treated like a fool !
So after all
is said and done
and I've thrown everybody out...
I scour my place
sweat running down my face,
and I'm alone without a doubt.
It sickens my heart
to know I'm disrespected,
it really cuts me like a knife !
These stranger times
really don't deserve rhymes,
They're just an ugly part of life !
and even stranger nights
with even strangers at my door,
and the way they steal
really makes me reel
I guess it proves they're really poor;
and what I see
really irks my soul,
guess one could say I've been to "school",
Because what I've got
is it's there-then it's not !
I'm being treated like a fool !
So after all
is said and done
and I've thrown everybody out...
I scour my place
sweat running down my face,
and I'm alone without a doubt.
It sickens my heart
to know I'm disrespected,
it really cuts me like a knife !
These stranger times
really don't deserve rhymes,
They're just an ugly part of life !
