Made
Who's zooming who? Think you got it made? Think again, maybe you've been made?
Made
I thought I had it made
9 years old
listening to WBZ Boston
late at night
on the radio I'd made
with my own young hands.
But nope.
I thought I had it made
that first used abused car
$3,000 bucks, 30 payments
driving windows open, arm out
like I ruled the road.
Not really.
I thought I had it made
first in the family
to finish college
shiny, framed degree
on my wall.
Not quite.
I thought I had it made
A woman by my side
who could put up with me,
a family there loving - just me.
But nah
.
I thought I had it made
running all day long
many miles strong
like a Greek god gene spliced with
the Eveready bunny.
But no.
The feeling of having it made
never lasted.
I always swam and squirmed with
a feeling of dis-ease
like something didn't add up
entropy solidly there
like nothing really ever
will ever last.
And that's how it is.
You try to have it made before
You learn you can't ever have it made.
It's all insecure, there is no center that holds.
You'll never really ever have it made.
There is no figuring it out.
No long term feetupism.
The bottom is always falling out.
Nothing lasts
Cuz
That's how we are made.
