Not Quite Tamed
I'm not quite tamed you know, not quite perfectly trained
to listen to the corruption and disintegration of our union.
" She's not quite right you know, not quite right in the head
we'll have to straighten her out, so the doctor said".
"He's not quite up to the mark you know, not quite made of the right stuff
we need to find a sterling man to cut through all the fluff."
"They're not quite making the mark you know, not quite hitting the grade
we need to hire a tutor or two before their education might fade".
"Our country's not quite succeeding on the world stage you know,
not quite creating the wealth, not quite showing us the way".
We're all not quite perfect, all not quite created equal,
we all need to take a look at ourselves
and help the
weak & feeble.
