am i sad
not sad enough
really
am i mad
not mad enough
clearly
am i complacent
completely
lacking in sincerity
yes indeed i am
am i tough
not tough enough
really
am i rough
not rough enough
nearly
am i lying here
on the ground
watching you get pushed around
yes indeed i am
really
i don't know why
i'm such a wimp
i realize
i'm just your pimp
but what can i do
what can i do
i feel small
not small enough
really
i feel lame and circumspect
i feel your pain and yet
i feel sympathy
empathy
it's just that i'm super busy right now
really
i don't know why
i'm such a shit
i realize
this doesn't help a bit
but what can i do
what can i do
i feel bad
not bad enough
really
i feel angry and upset
i could write you a small check
look i wish you luck
and here's your buck
it's just that i'm a yuppie fuck
yes indeed i am
