| No Chance |

| Perhaps you are bored as I think of this
Perhaps you feel dead as I was working This day and that day And I am a child with a beard and a massive face Thinking that this is what becomes of men and Women when they grow up? I haven’t been able to grow Have you been able to grow? What are we doing tapping keyboards with our fingers? And packing boxes with our hands All the long hard day A few of us have brains, And what do you have when you take away our minds That’s a task of a few men somewhere And it’s not too good I am depraved And it’s not too good that I can not speak To my fellow workers While my mind and my nerves are at war Most things are small as my ambition Goes through a needle like thread It’s not too good while waiting And having the lions, jackals, hyenas and vultures Wildly in pursuit of one I hope that something gets them Anything accept them getting me |
