Truant Soul

If you can’t take a joke
you shouldn’t’ve got born
unless you’re a bullet proof boy scout
coz the tattooed lady
won’t bail you out.

It’s a hard thing
coz chance comes hurtling
from where you were just standing
and waking up
won’t spare you the pain.

I’m telling you this
coz practice just makes a tool,
a perfect fool.
I’ve been here a while,
without a joker’s smile.

If incarnation’s your thing
be a marble in the hand
of a ghetto kid where the rainbow ends.
The moral is always
just the start of the game.

If you can’t take a joke
don’t get born
unless you’re a bullet proof snail
coz the tattooed lady
won’t come to your aid.

It’s a hard thing
coz chance comes hurtling
from where you were just standing
and waking up
doesn’t spare you the pain.

I’m telling you this
coz practice just makes a tool,
a perfect fool.
I’ve been here a while,
I’m not wearing a joker’s smile.

If incarnation’s your thing
be a marble in the hand
of a ghetto kid where the rainbow ends
coz the moral is always
just the start of a game.
