Aint it funny how everything we love
Fades away like that wispy cloud above
Aint it peculiar how a warm summers day
Can be followed by rain and dismal grey
I'm not certain if love can last forever
Unless we pay installments on the never never
Have the fortunate never wept or cried
Are there victims so honest and never lied
As a child were you taught then told
That you were hated and left out in the cold
Did the punishments ever really fit the crime
Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine
Did your parents bring you up the right way
Were you silent and never allowed to say
Anything that maybe wasn't true
Was your existence sometimes sad but forever blue
Not allowed out to play or see your friends
Cast in solitude until the bitter end
When they decided they needed an errand run
You the enemy" became the chosen one
As a child were you taught then told
That you were hated and left out in the cold
Did the punishments ever really fit the crime
Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine
I guess a deposit refund was never on the cards
Paper rounds and task were somewhat hard
I hated getting up so god dam early
Delivering News before school was surely
Not a good way to prepare for the day
I hated the Bag the weight and pitiful pay
As a child were you taught then told
That you were hated and left out in the cold
Did the punishments ever really fit the crime
Were you beaten down then had to pay a fine
It was dark when I woke at five
Never felt good to be awake or alive
Those times are still with me today
But if I'm asked how I am " I say ok"
How are you how are you
Yes ok I'm fine thank you
How are you? You stop and say
Yes I'm fine on this beautiful day
Hmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmm Hmmm Hmm Hmm
Yes I'm fine thank you today
No paper round for me today
