Fucked
You're born and you're fucked;
and some little shit who's an inch and a half taller than you wants
your toy truck and you're fucked;
and here comes puberty and, man, talk about fucked...
and a thousand luscious nymphs dazzle you from magazine covers and
pick your pocket and you're fucked;
and you go to college and you major in history you idiot and you're
fucked;
and you fall out of lock step and you're fucked;
and the President is afraid his cock isn't big enough so they hand
you a rifle and you're fucked;
and a couple of thugs drinking malt liquor on the street corner say
let's go see if that guy has any money and you're fucked;
and you waste yourself working for nothing but weekends and paydays and
one morning you forget to smile at your boss and you're fucked;
and the years slam shut behind you and you're fucked;
and your wife wants a divorce the house the kids the car and two thirds
of your salary forever and you're fucked;
and your big ideas end up in a drawer full of cancelled checks and
you're fucked;
and your doctor says I'm afraid I have some bad news and you're fucked;
and they stick you with needles and tubes and people talk in whispers
when they come into your room but you know that what they're saying
is you're fucked.
