Eaten Up By The Lives Of Others
Eaten up By the lives of others Their goals Their weaknesses Their failures The things they don't deserve Why didn't it happen to me? What did they do? They don't even appreciate it Don't know the value of it The meaning of it If it weren't for people like that Who knows where I'd be? And my children? Held back by charlatans (I think that's the word) If it's not the word It's not my fault Couldn't learn in that classroom With all of those others Gobbling up teacher's time I could have been so happy Graced with a sweet disposition But bombarded with idiots The life and joy sucked from me every day To be confronted with it Relentlessly One day I will put my foot down One day it will be too much One day I will draw the line in the sand One day I will claim my share That will be the day I shine That will be the day they see That will be the day of my vindication That will be the day That will be the day.
