“gratification is delayed'
I heard it as a drove away
So i'll go count my blessings for a while
I know it's gonna take a little time
To get my manic streak in line
And find a blend of influence and style
I live but i never learn
So i take some overtime to find some money to burn
I'm another dog out looking for the day
Ignorant bliss is a curse i'm sure
So i get wise and dirty, not so pretty or pure
I'd rather get roughed up to get my way
So i get roughed up and sing
About the joy that i'm gonna bring
As a person in limbo
I'm just a man in progress
I'm another guy involved in all the things that i think i want
But right now i could use –
Right now i won't abuse it –
Right now i could use a confidant
Children these days drink red wine
To find their glory in designing
Methods to perfect and to integrate
A bloody bird, a curse in flight
Taking wing so that he might
Ascend earn a profit share, to find a mate
Ain't it great?
He lives but he never learns
He takes his overtime to find some money to burn
His another a dog out looking for the day
Ignorant bliss is a curse i'm sure
So i stay wise and dirty, not so pretty or pure
I'd rather get roughed up to get his way
So i get roughed up and sing
About the joy that i'm gonna bring
As a person in limbo
I'm just a man in progress
I'm another guy involved in all the things that i think i want
But right now i could use –
Right now i won't abuse it –
Right now i could use a _
Square peg, round hole
Unwieldy soul
With enough sandpaper your gonna fit just fine
Square peg, round hole
Unwieldy soul
With enough sandpaper, enough cement
With enough elbow-grease, and enough regret
You're gonna fit just fine
You're gonna fit. just. fine
I live but i never learn
So i take some overtime to find some money to burn
I'm another dog out looking for the day
Ignorant bliss is a curse i'm sure
So i get wise and dirty, not so pretty or pure
I'd rather get roughed up to get my way
So i get roughed up and sing
About the joy that i'm gonna bring
As a person in limbo
I'm just a man in progress
I'm another guy involved in all the things that i think i want
But right now i could use –
Right now i won't abuse it –
Right now i could use a confidant
Right now i could use a confidant
