411 : 5/26/99 : Dull Song

1,484 : 11 ?


I got up today and took a shower
brushed my teeth and headed for the street
I got no time to smell a flower
I got no time for anyone I might meet
I got on a bus to take me downtown
Didn’t spend much time looking left or right
Nothing much to see on my way down
And the same in reverse going back tonight
I sat behind a desk and made my contribution
to society with my time
It’s hard to say if I’m part of the solution
It’s hard to tell a good deed from a crime
I rolled back home just the way I came
A dull day a song already sung
Who’s to judge how we fare in the big game
We who are neither old nor young
