You are either sat in front of a computer
At or on your way to school
Nursing a new baby
Tending to a sick relative
Sweating in an office because the air conditioning is out again


While I'm suffering in this tent
Sharing it with a couple of hornets
And a million crane flies
With one tiny light
The noise, oh that terrible noise
Of big carp splashing in the lake
The ghostly rustling of the leaves
Over my head as the tree sings her
Evening lullabye
Suffering the screeches and screaming
Of that ****** owl
Being forced against my will to sip
My scotch

Life here is hell. Who wants to join
Me here on

The wild side of life
