Deficiency

 

 

            I want to get scurvy

            I don’t need bread to survive

            I want to get apoplexy

            I got nothing

            I need nothing

 

            I know people who would cry

            Without a car for the day

            People who would cry

            If others won’t do

            Exactly the things they are asked to do

            People who cry

            Don’t understand

            The people who really cry

 

            I have soup and soup is enough

            If I don’t have soup

            Dirt is enough

            Don’t you comprehend?

            Isn’t this simple?

 

            It’s incredibly funny to see all the little people

            Walking around and talking Jesus

            And me being the only one who isn’t of Jesus

            Didn’t even particularly like the idea of Jesus

            And yet I’m the most like Jesus

 

            These, the most like yuppies, love to look down on me

 

            But then the world is full of hypocrites

            And they all have plenty of bread

            The world is full of laughing women

            Who all, all surrounded by men

            And I am content in this surety

            I find in it my subtle calm

            You can sound the alarm

            You can call the police

            You can tip back the wine

            I’ll be ready
