I used to march around the playground with my friends 
Yelling we hate girls and now, all's well that ends well 
And there's so much to be said for fresh starts and second chances 
In a world of scary monsters and high tech advances, 
I try to do what 
I do with love instead of with anger 
And sometimes 
I bite my nails 'cause real life is a cliffhanger 
What with only seconds left at the end of the 10th hour 
We got emergency ways to respond to the 
Nth power 
The alloys are light weight and increasingly durable 
But as far as 
I'm concerned, the original is preferable 
I'm stubborn that way, 
I piss while humanity waits 
My motto wouldn't fit on a set of vanity plates 
The watch in my pocket may be indeed old and tarnished 
But at least 
I can raise my hand without a shoulder harness 
You know I can easily replace my lungs with a respirator 
My parents with a 
TV and my staircase with an escalator 
But, my life revolves around the spherical orbit of earth 
And it ends forever with the miracle moment of birth 
On the first day of spring 
I start work on the fall edition 
And decide for myself who's a thief and who's a politician 
It's two different things on different pages of the calendar 
I gauge the way 
I react on the age of my challengers 
I row my boat gently against the current and 
I believe 
In real life and death experience, and keeping and even keel 
The older i get, the more life makes sense and the less 
I care. What's that 
Dim, Stop that racket (2X) 
Damn that noise, 
I'll kill them all
