Something particularly crazy happened
the other day and
I can't remember it already,
and all the old people
tell me I'll be
just like them

except,
I can't even begin to understand
because I can't listen to how many
opportunities I'm supposed to have
and everything is so great
and the kingdom is wide open
if you're young and willing.

Salivating, eager to get ******
for the idea of getting ahead.
We all ****** our way to the
bottom
&
the glass is small.
Not half full,
ain't half empty.

Idiots speak to me with
a flavor of prejudice
because I
don't care
how much money
they never made.
