Why Your Life is Askew

What ever happened to you?

I thought we’d make it through

Did you have to be so untrue?

All your debts had come due,

You’re just part of the human zoo

Whatever happened to you?

You should have taken a different view

You’ve been kicked by Karma’s shoe,

And now you’re black and blue

Everyone you loved too

And you wonder why your life is askew

Nothing you can do,

We’re ruled by a privileged few

If they could they’d poison the morning dew

They stick to evil like glue

Oh God do we need a coup!

We cooked this international nuclear stew

Served it with a golden screw

Just when we thought the cold war was through

It seems hostilities renewed,

Whatever happened to you?

Did you have to torment me too?

Society remains to be chewed

Just when we stamped out a war another one grew,

It happened right on queue

Just when I thought that I knew

Whatever happened to you?

And you wonder why I feel so blue.
