Over The Hill
(30/5/2012)
Leave me alone
While I have a turn
Give me space in time
To go out of my mind
Close the door
So I can score
I want to go insane
Want to leave this brain
I want to run away and hide
Lie down beyond the clouds in the sky
I want to raise the dead from their sleep
And ask what it’s like to get some peace
Normality should be criminalized
Like pocketing your employer’s wealth on the side
And insanity should be popularized
Awarded as a Noble Prize
I want to disappear on the horizon
I want to be refrigerated and frozen
I want to be cannibalized
Decapitated before my very eyes
I’ve lost the will to swim
I’ve lost the will to win
I’ve lost the will to compete
All I know is defeat
I want to be under a moving train
I want to feel every bit of the pain
They don’t believe I’m insane
But they’re not hearing this constant refrain
It’s on top of the mountain
It’s in the health spar and the fountain
It’s at the bottom of the hill
And all it takes it just one pill
They’ve driven us crazy
And still they want more babies
More tranquillizers to keep us still
One more step and I’m over the hill
welcome to the world as seen through my eyes
