Nepotism

When I have nothing to do I get depressed,
I have too much to do I’m anxious
But sitting still is all I’ve done where I’m certain that the outcome
will get worse the longer I try, the more I try

Can’t keep aging without taking something
to help me keep my figure, to help me go to sleep,
to wake me up in the morning, calm me down after noon,
make me smile in the evening and remember to repeat and repeat

Not growing wiser I’m growing impatient
Pass on the right and I still get brain freeze
I’ll admit it’s my birthday if you promise not to sing
You know I didn’t do a thing to earn these years,
was my parents that put me here

It’s getting harder to choose a pair of shoes,
don’t want to bend to tie the laces
Pick up a book and put it down, I consider going to town
But I expect I know the crowd at the usual places, it’s all the same

Not feeling carefree, I’m feeling careless
Don’t fold my shirts and I can’t find my keys
I’ll admit it’s my birthday if you promise not to sing
You know I didn’t do a thing to earn these years,
was my parents that put me here,
was my parents that put me here
