this ones for anyone decleared mentally insane
I Will Never Kill Myself Coz
I Wanna Make Somebody Happy

6 Feet Underground?

I used to be agnostic, but now I'm not too sure
Why are we fighting in this religious war
When no one knows truly what we face beyond this life
our reality is in our heads its not outside our minds
Who Am I to tell you that you've never spoke to god
And who are you to tell me that our death is bleak and dark
and why do atheists go on telling you that you're wrong
If they really didn't care they'd leave the house and just log off
Coz I've had it up to here with people telling what to think
If you'd really hit rock bottom you'd pray to god before the drink
Every mans born equal every woman born the same
our corrupt society tells us how we should behave
Evolution got it wrong we are not monkeys we are dogs
in the caveman days we didn't drop our logs in the bogs
we would burn them and drink from them we'd be happy in our caves
take any all the materials and its pretty much the same
It's so easy to forget we have the freedom of choice
turn off all your influences and listen to your voice
you're a slave to your TV, your computer and your job
Just like i am to.........................................................
at least music and sex is what we're here for
Attenborough said there's no need for language at all
Back in the day people sang before they spoke,
do you realize that the bible was written for a joke
but I don't think you're aware of the irony of it all
it's the writers not the readers that have you all fooled
The followers are the ones you've gotta be careful of
they think paedophilia is ok if you read the word of god
Jesus died for his sins so it's ok to make you hurt
as long as you are dressed properly for church
they tell you in that situation you're not allowed to swear
Pretending when not worshipping very really really care
you interpret religious text in any way you want
The word of god is under your bed leg to keep it up
As I said earlier we all have our own free will
we make up our own minds we decide who we can kill
we have the power to overthrow kings
not the ones in the palace the ones who practice banking
who needs millions of pounds and happily ignore the poor
they can pay off the judges of the secret court
Need their flash car for their identity
yet they're the ones who should be locked up for insanity
for them all I feel is nothing but apathy
underneath the suit and tie lies a soul less tragedy
to get by in this life you have to get your degree
and make sure you are married by the ripe old age of 30
have 2 kids or if your wife can push out 3
then you start to save for when you're an OAP
After all this you wonder why you're still not happy
coz you don't do your thinking its your society
you'll never have the balls to be what you want to be
happiness is not the be all and end all for me
its having friends and loving them that makes me want to breath
flush the pointless rat race down the lavatory
and never trust a politician, labour or tory
LIFE WON'T ALWAYS BE A FAIRYTALE STORY.

Sometimes I'm 6'2 and sometimes I'm 5'7
I Can Make your life Hell, Or I can make it heaven
I Can't light a cigarette, but smoke gets in my lungs
I can barely raise a fist, but I will torture you for fun
I scribble with my left hand and I wrong with my Right
I am a pacifist, but there's no one I wouldn't fight
I Cry like a crocodile floating in the ocean, I still burn in the shadow wearing factor 50 lotion
How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself?
I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth
and how can you trust me know you know my poker face
do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race
I'll keep all your secrets, but I've got more faces than big ben
I know all the answers like Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men'
I Keep my blockbusters card everywhere I go I have studied 'Fight Club', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'The Truman Show'
Maybe I'm a fantasist, an actor or a bastard, but the honest answer is I'm a fruitcake I'll never have the answers
I don't deserve an Oscar because I've always been myself
A psychiatrist's wet dream whose book is always on the shelf
How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself?
I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth
and how can you trust me know you know my poker face
do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race

Why does one get to a certain age where they think its acceptable to start wearing beige?
The clock tick-tocks forwards as it hands shut down the brain
the wear and tare of life begins and slowly numbs the pain
an insignificant atom within a cluster of dust
The bike was bought in the shed gathering the rust
9-5 the only thing keeping you alive now you've served your life sentence all you can do is cry
You don't buy books to read for when you're debilitated there's thinking for the future then there is manipulating
the same mistake i can guarantee will not be maid
how ever it wont skip a generation the beds already maid a maid is something ill never be and no body is changing my bed pan
ive got no future aspirations for future dibilitations
7 Seconds said it best "I'm Gonna Stay Young Until I Die"
I won't free up my diary and calculate when i'm saying my goodbyes
even the best of us are completely irrelevant not even a nit within a hair strand of an elephant
We are Atoms within atoms within atoms within atoms
A tomb is the end product with eternity in the ground
you have to live your life in HD with surround sound
Todays programme finished on an old black and white TV
with that weird girl and puppet staring back at me
the calling card says its the beginning of the end
i have the business card of a close family friend
funeral director and star of your own sitcom
enjoy retirement because i have a feeling its gonna be long
longer than you cared and wanted to be around
the worms will feast upon you within your destination you are bound
thaats why im living by Hilda's Philosophy, showing my grandkids i can touch the floor without bending my knees, proudly at 93.
RIP
