People Tell Me

Never had a lot of luck
In fact, I had none at all
Other than the time I found out
Didn't really care at all
People tell me
I should really
Be more like the other guy
Who is tough
And shouts at those
Who are cautious when they drive
Never really had a plan
Which some do deem essential
Kicking others in the face
To make themselves feel better
People tell me
I should really
Make the most of what I've got
What I've got
Is just a feeling
They should keep their mouths shut
When I sit and read a book
And listen to the sound of
TVs, cars, and all night bars
Thank God I am a loser
People tell me
I should really
Be more like the other guy
Who is tough
And beats his wife
And says 'she had it coming'
Never had a lot of luck
Which some do call good fortune
Is this the measure of a man?
Is this the world we live in?
People tell me
I should really
Get a life, be more assertive
People tell me
Lots of things
When they should keep their mouths shut!
