I Was Too Smart for That
I won't apologize.
I'm old. Where the hell
Do you think we go?
Unromantic winter is marching in.
There is nothing between us and
All of Canada to hold the wind
Back from the Gulf of Mexico.
So I snapped and sent it hot.
Blow me if it upset your plans.
Kid you are just a kid to me.
I have things inside clawing
To get out,
Others clawing to get back in.
So stand aside and throw the
Fucking thing away or hit delete
Or burn your computer to the ground.
I still have muscles in my shoulders
And I'm muscling in.
If it hurts you that's what you need.
No pain, no ache, no blood to mark
The cut, the bleeding,
You're too young to know a thing.
Just sit down, shut up and learn.
Learn to shut up, and just sit down,
And listen with all you've got
To the lesson it will take
Your entire life to truly learn.
I won't apologize.
