You Know Me

Lyrics:

What was once 
made you proud 
Maybe because it 
was not allowed 
You brag of your own 
infamy
And wink at the 
chicanery 

Everything seems 
too hard
You have to 
abbreviate
Offer 
plenty people
Often 
point pretty

You were driving down to 
Alabama
Your family made 
the journey
A gag about
 Alabama
Yeah 
you know me

The kids these days 
don’t feel that way 
They’ve seen it all
They can have anything
And don’t want it
They’re all about operating 
They don’t want it
They’re all about blocking

Everything seems 
too hard
You have to 
abbreviate
Offer 
plenty people
Often 
point pretty

So they spoke as they went away and the heart within me laughed over how my name and my perfect planning had fooled him
