He was sitting on the bus his self esteem in the dust br When he asked an old man if sadness is a must br If he can’t make the money then he’s sure to lose his honey br Hasn’t eaten all day you could probably hear his tummy br And the rent’s past due when her parent’s pass through br Their child’s life is such a mess it’ll make them achoo(!) br br Old man looked at him as if his name was Adam br And said big problems can get broken down to atoms br Today’s disaster will be tomorrow’s plaster br Rebuild it how you want, don’t let it be the master br Opinions of mothers and goofy in-law brothers br Should never outweigh yours or your choosy lover br br I listened to him teach cause he never once preached br And the things he was saying weren’t too far out of reach br Problems go on and on but they never stay that long br I turned to look at him but the old man was gonebr br P.R.
