| All you needed was somebody with a dream,
|
| A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
|
| Only dead fish float with the stream —
|
| Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
|
| I’m not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan,
|
| I won’t play Jesus Christ — Santa Claus.
|
| I’ll never pass for a superman —
|
| I’m just an effect trying to find a cause.
|
| Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here.
|
| Is it because I’m flesh and blood
|
| That creature comforts feel so good?
|
| I give my body all it needs —
|
| It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds.
|
| And if I keep my feelings stum,
|
| Hard luck — bibo ergo sum.
|
| Just trying to do the best I can
|
| Is a giant leap for this small man.
|
| All you needed was somebody with a dream,
|
| A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
|
| Only dead fish float with the stream —
|
| Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
|
| You say that life is a miracle —
|
| I don’t believe one word.
|
| Forgive me for being so cynical —
|
| From down here you all look absurd.
|
| So are you happy now we all feel the same?
|
| Martyrs to the cause — boredom level nearing terminal.
|
| You’re afraid to go against the grain,
|
| Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual.
|
| James T. Kirk — Albert Einstein,
|
| Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise.
|
| If you’re out there send me a sign —
|
| I need somebody to sympathise with.
|
| Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here.
|
| Must I succumb to every urge —
|
| First feast and fast (then binge and purge).
|
| My spirit’s strong — my flesh is weak,
|
| I laugh and cry and scream and speak.
|
| And sometimes when i feel confused,
|
| I walk a path I did not choose.
|
| Watch my life on video —
|
| A private homemade horror show.
|
| All you needed was somebody with a dream,
|
| A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
|
| Only dead fish float with the stream —
|
| Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial.
|
| So are you happy now we all feel the same?
|
| Martyrs to the cause — boredom level nearing terminal.
|
| You’re afraid to go against the grain,
|
| Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual.
|
| You say that life is a miracle —
|
| I don’t believe one word.
|
| Forgive me for being so cynical —
|
| From down here you all look absurd. |
