I was born with a Thorn in my Soul, sometimes it hurts.
Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.

Never been one to walk that road
I've never been one to do as I'm told
I've never been one to forget what I'm taught
I've never been outrun
I've never been outfought
I was born in a house like you
On a street like you
In a town like you
Every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you
Broke the rules like you
Never seen sense in staying too long
I've never seen sense in righting my wrongs
I've never seen sense in trying to fit
I've never seen the end
I've never had to quit
I was born in a house like you
On a street like you
In a town like you
Every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you
Broke the rules like you
I was born in a house like you
On a street like you
In a town like you
Every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you
Broke the rules like you
There's a thousand people I wanna be
Role models and heroes for all to see
People who care, hearts that are true
I'm just nothing like you
Never had to need to live the dream
Never had a need to make the team
I've never had a need to act like you
I've never told a lie, you've never told the truth
I was born in a house like you
On a street like you
In a town like you
Every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you
Broke the rules like you
I was born in a house like you
On a street like you
In a town like you
Every day I went to school like you
Played the fool like you
Broke the rules like you
I'm nothing like you
I'm nothing like you
I'm nothing like you
I'm nothing like you
I'm nothing like you
I'm nothing like you

Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya
Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness

I never asked to be this way.
But was required to serve for the master.
I never questioned anything.
Now here I am, a fucking disaster.
Flies and spiders in webs I now adore
As remnants of those I once loved slip away.
They've given up on me, and I'm too black to care.
But, I care... Sometimes I still care.
I gave him everything I have.
The master said he'd come back for me.
Glued to this tiny window I have yet to see,
His ship. Her face. My prize.
I've got a funny feeling all has been in vain.
Sometimes I see the world turning outside
And then I see my shaking hands, my hair, now gray.
Apart from them, stung by the master lie,
the master lie,
the master lie,
the master lie.
They're coming, they're coming to take me away.

Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Or darling have you started feeling old yet?
Don't worry I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
With the efficiency that only youth can harness
And do you still think love is a laserquest
Or do you take it all more seriously?
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
But you're always busy being make believe
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there
Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?
When I'm not being honest I pretend that you were just some lover
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you
I doubt that comes as a surprise
And I can't think of anything to dream about
I can't find anywhere to hide
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
And I convince myself I need another
For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
Singing dreadful songs about summer
Will I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
Will I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?

Because it's Halloween season:
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
