ME SITS/ME THINKS


Me sits
and me thinks
I gots to make sense
(some of the time)
else
no one is gonna listen
to my bullshit
(none of the time)
so
me sits and me thinks
all day long
until I'm all thinked out
and me friends
they all stop by and say
Boy
you must be some kind o' crazy
better sit down before you hurt yourself

and I
(who was sitting down in the first place)
just looks at them
like they is all stupid or something
and I sez
(real cool and casual like)

Silence
is a hunger that eats itself
in the same way
a mad dog
bites its own leg
in search of sympathy

And they all
(who is kinda stuck up)
has to sit down
right next to me

and think about it.
