Lyrics
Wishing for Contentment
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wishing for contentment
Hoping for relentment
Venting my resentment
On the happy few
Awaiting resolution
And dreams of restitution
Finding retribution's
Just another thing to do
You've got to keep
Yourself busy
Visit aunt Lizzy
Just see how she's been
But when you're making a late run
Two judgemental matrons
Retort
See What I mean
A seeming reprobation
Perhapes it's my vocation
A nauseouselation
Comes to mind but fades so soon
