Song of Sorrow

Sing the song of sorrow, you peasants of popularity Everybody hanging on your words Dripping with yeses and pleads for your attention They do not know the contents of your heart, Your wish Seeking those who say no and stand up to you You begrudge those who dare not fight your words, those who sulk when you snap Snap their feebleness, those lousy suck ups Where are the real people, the true Why must you be followed by groupies who refuse your invitation to fight, to bicker To disagree Do they not know your sorrows, your delights of thrust and throw Your voice has become as a funeral drudge as you slowly die of boredom, your soul withers as you wallow in pity, your popularity as a magnet of fiends of friendship
