Stupid Lesson

Another stupid lesson I didn't want to learn,

Standing in the rain waiting for my turn,

It's my human condition that makes my world complete,

But tonight I just want to go home,

And a chance to dry my feet

No-one gets a second chance,

No-one knows the reason to the rhyme,

It might not make a difference,

No-one knows or has that kind of time

Your condescending tone has kept me up at night,

I didn't say a word and I'm left with hindsight,

Your eyes look right through me,

While mine look through the rag,

I don't want your cause and I won't wave your flag

No-one gets a second chance,

No-one knows the reason to the rhyme,

It might not make a difference,

No-one knows or has that kind of time

I didn't want to say this but now I know it's true,

Inspiration turns to dogma and I wipe it off my shoe,

It's my human condition that makes my world complete,

But tonight I just want to go home,

And a chance to dry my feet

No-one gets a second chance,

No-one knows the reason to the rhyme,

It might not make a difference,

No-one knows or has that kind of time
