These problems weigh way more than a ton You can tell by the hunch in my shoulders Plus the swell in my gut How do I solve them, or at least absolve one? I swallow a pill and keep the doors shut I express this to listeners, to my parents, psychiatrist and coworkers But I get treated like I'm no further from A lone goat herder without a cane, stripped of his tongue This mundane ho-hum struggles to retain relationships With a positive outcome Attempts to do so are rarely gratified Complacency tends to leave the unsung unsatisfied The weight of the world is getting heavier Dishes are piling up, let alone the weather sucks I ain't smiling as much as ordinarily This Introverted side is escalating at a rate that's sorta scaring me The hair on my head is falling Approaching 42, getting closer 50 dismays me Yet I'll still crawl out of bed today With a mouthful to say before my heart starts to palpitate I try to do the right thing but you never know what the night'll bring It starts with engines idling, exhaust fumes, then a tire screech Gears grind... desires vs. needs As an ominous automaton babbles on from the driver's seat It takes one to know one when neither know which road they're on I'm the hominid and he's the opposite of kind to me With pessimistic put downs rock bottomless I curl up like a nautilus to pretend to look like I'm asleep See, tonight I'm feeling kind of weak In this time of need, his words sting worse than a hive of bees Permanent ink within his quotes cannot be washed away with soap Should've been slept on for an entire week I've got 99 problems... if I could just kick one A less wicked state would this way come A single solution to bring a new day's sun And a path to resolve the other 98 of 'em 99 problems, if I could just kick one! A less wicked state would this way come A single solution to bring a new day's sun And a path to resolve the other 98 of 'em These problems weigh way more than a ton You can tell by the hunch in my shoulders Plus the swell in my gut I'm carrying a lot of weight here But who isn't getting older soon to lie belly up? These problems are most definitely first world You can tell by the way I keep talking about the first girl I kissed... like this, muah! Still feeling it appropriate to continue this blog! I let the past prevail, inviting this fog With the saltiest of thoughts Can you offer any sentiment? Drawing conclusions in an office like Tom As Milton's dissolutions burn Initech to sediment I still cold call, like an old dog all Hooch to Turner An abusive cig burner... Being spoon-fed concoctions promising to make me think further But nopes... A quantum conundrum, rocking the boat Someone toss me a rope, this spoonful weighs a ton
