...the solution is if we don't need it, we don't take it...

i walked around alone last night
and tried to look at people like i did back then
i kinda wanted just to hang out
remind myself of what it was all about
and everything i thought i shattered
and left laying there that didn't matter
every now and then comes back into my eyes
moving in a new direction
i know if you're not getting better you're getting worse
but watching everybody else
it's getting harder to remind myself of what i've learned
relying on another lame religion
to validate our arrogant traditions
and any day we're going to wonder what we left behind

this girl came up to me and said
i think my teacher used to go to school with you
and she was right
and if for just a second
i'd take off these colored glasses
i can see it might just be a waste of time
and i don't know
everyday that passes
it's getting easier to walk off and it seems all right
and everyday another person
i used to call my friend just disappears from sight
now i see that i'm all alone
just like i always was from the beginning and i
i think maybe that's the reason
i'm not hanging around
i see your face and wonder
where you'll be five years from now
and what it really means to you inside
i can't explain the reasons why i
can't sit back and bide my time
and it just keeps going on and on and on and i don't know..

i was listening to this screeching weasel song and suddenly got the urge to type the lyrics up and actually read them. take stock of the situation assess the complications...

another day at work.

like a parasite.
