The last message you sent siad I looked really down that I oughta come over and talk about it well I wasn't down I just wasn't smiling at you as I look at us now it seems that you're slapping my back as if it's alright but its not.
I'm trying to get up but you're pushing me down so I'll get up on my own
Now there's some grinning goon on my TV screen telling us all that it's alright because she wears this and he said that and if you get some of these it'll all be alright well I refuse to be a cynical goon passing the masses an easy answer because it won't be alright oh no it won't be alright it won't be alright unless you get up come on and get up

I've never had to knock on wood But I know someone who has Which makes me wonder if I could It makes me wonder if I've never had to knock on wood And I'm glad I haven't yet Because I'm sure it isn't good That's the impression that I get
