In
time
In
time your claws will grow back
And
your tongue will regain its edge
And
I will learn to keep to my distance
Not
wander too close to the ledge
In
time distance will make these wounds heal
Am
I a man or a mouse
Am
I standing up or am I a heel?
Why
stand up straight when it is so much easier to kneel
In
time your broken heart will be put back together
Your
eyes will start to look around
And
you will change with the weather
Summer
will come and you will be chomping at the tether
Autumn
soon will follow
It
is better to make a clean break now
Than
to wallow
I
know what you too will say
And
slay
Me
To
beat a dead dog
Or
horse
Or
whatever it may be
The
point is
The
thing
Is
dead
Get
it through that thick head of yours
Boy
Toy
In
time you will learn
You
are not always paid
What
you earn
You
can fall over when you turn
Those
that do not take care
Do
get burnt
The
captain goes down with the ship
But
I donŐt think he is ennobled by it
He
is still a dead duck
As
am I
So
better to cover up
Wear
a bullet proof vest
As
time and experience surely do suggest
(É)
I
am ultimately just as disposable as the rest
