The Cut-up cut out and cut down The Middle man then cut in while he and his date were dancing He tried to strike up a conversation but struck out when she struck down upon him blows of reigning rejection Now The Psychopath and The Sociopath are at odds The Psychopath thinks The Sociopath is sloppy and his ideas have no longevity The Sociopath thinks the Psychopath is just having growing pains and need to learn to live a little The Psychopath was born into this, but the Sociopath was born onto it The onset of calculated impulses Contain yourself Control yourself Looking at it from an ethnocentric point of view Entertain the idea that you may be the antisocial one Humor me on this one Would a smart person waste hard earned money on an "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt? Postulate the theory that their are six degrees of separation That you are a few hellos to someone who is a friend of a friend every way you turn And that person may or may not rupture the cycled path you've been treading Told to be prompt To have good posture To do regular pruning to our appearances and keep them up But price and participation always vary Is it a tad underwhelming or did I speak too soon? Was it lost in translation? It's called acorn theory Not what you came with Not where you came to Or even where you come from But what you came as And will continue on to be The hustle and bustle Packing heat Flexing muscle In the big bad city
