Altercations, situations, aggravations Rain on my parade Can you pour me a glass of that fine? Whining about, someway somehow, getting up out Common place charades Can you cut me that practical slice? Oh, I know Your glass seems half empty Take a breath, look to the left And under that tree Have you seen the night in the eyes of those boys Chasing them lightning bugs a step behind Told me that they gonna conquer The world, one bug at a time They ain't far behind Reservations, complications, hesitations Thorough but so weak Let me tell you where you missed The marking X's and your O's Your words just show a self saturated leak Let me give you a list of ways to tweak Sir, I don't apologize for being forward But those boys, those boys, they keep on teaching me Folks they gotta have something they movin' towards Swapping limitations for their destiny
