Atlas Shrugged

This bottle of ***** is all too well abused

It makes my existence feel like an excuse

Well maybe somebody else could put it to some use

'Cos the circle of life feels just like a noose

 

I've always wondered how Atlas felt

And if he was ****** off with the hand he was dealt

And I quote from the walls of this flesh colored cell

We're all born and we all die and neither leaves a very nice smell

 

I feel like an ocean churning in the gut

Of a low life, homeless, ****** eyed drunk

Lyin' on his back after Atlas shrugged

Off the weight of the world like it was all junk

 

This little heart of mine is eating me alive

This little light of mine is burning me alive
