the nerve

oh greedy one
greedy two
did you do what you could do
for crippled one or crippled two?

a can of beans
a sugar tooth?
you dig a hole under your greed
you follow down until you bleed
you don't know how it feels

oh busy one
oh busy two
none for them and all for you
the can of dreams you sold your soul
someone went and poked a hole

now there are days when you feel bad
you almost feel the heart you had

the kid inside your head
keeps asking
why the world has the nerve to keep turning
and why the sun has the balls to keep burning

oh fickle one
oh fickle two
it's back to work what can you do?
someone else will take the time
you've got yours and I've got mine

your nagging heart won't settle down
as you stop to look around

the kid inside your head
keeps asking
why the world has the nerve to keep turning
and why the sun has the balls to keep burning
and why the moon has the gall to keep staring
and why your heart can not stop caring
