a day in the life

by Bek Williams

whatever happened to trust?
without lies and disgust
without the fear and the pain
why do you act so insane?
why do you hate me so much?
am i only useful as your crutch?
i know we've never seen eye to eye
but things are different this time
i've been working hard on this rhyme
and you never seem to care
sitting around and all you do is from that chair
and that piece of crap
sometimes i wish had never been invented
maybe then you'd do your share
and some of the burden would be lifted
off of these shoulders of ours
no wonder we're so tired
i got homework still to do
but your housework leaves something to be desired
it's futile but it's true
it's stupid bad news
there's nothing we can do
cos it's all misconstrued
and everyday i try my hardest
to make you proud
to stand out in the crowd
and make you wanna own me
but let's be honest here
that's never gonna happen
you always look at me like i'm a has-been
could-have-been
never-gonna-be
and honest to God, that's alright with me
i'm tired of seeking approval
for things i didn't do
things i'd never do
not in this lifetime
you scream, things fell apart on you
well guess what?
things fell apart on me too
i hit the bottom, but i came back up
while you're still there
moaning about some blow-up
that happened five years ago
i just don't wanna hear it
i don't give a flip about what happened
i quit
maybe i should have said that all along
maybe i shouldn't
hey, maybe i'm wrong!
there's just one thing left for me to say...
i hope you get straightened out someday
