Have you ever given your friend a bad potato? Because they ate your cheese quesadilla a year ago? And have you ever shouted at the rain Just to get it all out of your system? Maybe you secretly hoped That cute guy you liked Would hear you a world away As you listened to the rain Drop at supersonic speed Have you ever thrown a helpless object At the wall just because you could? And did you subsequently take a trip Down that dismal, wistful memory lane? Maybe it reminded of you Of that sing along You and Major Tom did a lifetime ago That made you a couple drinks Too late to turn back To your college assignment That was due the next day Maybe life is just a game Strange and imperious To our flawed design Just maybe I am you And you are them

You're Born and Then You Die
Have you ever given your friend a bad potato? Because they ate your cheese quesadilla a year ago? And have you ever shouted at the rain Just to get it all out of your system? Maybe you secretly hoped That cute guy you liked Would hear you a world away As you listened to the rain Drop at supersonic speed Have you ever thrown a helpless object At the wall just because you could? And did you subsequently take a trip Down that dismal, wistful memory lane? Maybe it reminded of you Of that sing along You and Major Tom did a lifetime ago That made you a couple drinks Too late to turn back To your college assignment That was due the next day Maybe life is just a game Strange and imperious To our flawed design Just maybe I am you And you are them
