On the Case
Unraveling Life's Puzzle: On the Case by Carl Broemel
Lyrics
I saw an old man hold out his hand
I witnessed an elderly man asking for help by extending his hand.
And I didn't care at all
I was indifferent and unconcerned about his plea.
But I spot a stray dog that's probably lost
However, I noticed a stray dog that seemed lost.
And I'll stop the car
As a response, I decided to halt my vehicle.
I know that something's off but I can't stop
Despite sensing something wrong, I couldn't cease or halt my actions.
Rolling my golden way
I continue to move forward confidently in my comfortable lifestyle.
The past has long been prologue
The events from the past have set the stage for what's happening now.
But I am on the case
Nevertheless, I am actively engaged in solving or addressing matters.
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I visit, people are seeking money or funds.
They're trying to raise some dough
They're attempting to collect or gather financial support.
But I didn't give a dime
However, I didn't contribute any money.
I spent eighty bucks on four bottles of wine
Instead, I spent eighty dollars on four bottles of wine.
And I didn't bat an eye
And I didn't react emotionally or show concern.
I know that something's off but I can't stop
Despite feeling that something is wrong, I can't interrupt or change my course.
Rolling my golden way
I persist in following my comfortable and prosperous path.
The past has long been prologue
Previous experiences have set the foundation for my current situation.
But I am on the case
Yet, I am actively involved in resolving issues.
Scary how easy it is to waste the day
It's alarming how effortlessly I waste my time.
Staring at a screen
I spend hours staring at electronic screens.
While gathering dust the stack of unfinished books
Meanwhile, a pile of unread books gathers dust.
That I'll have to start again
These books will remain unfinished, necessitating a restart.
I know that something's off but I can't stop
Although I sense something is amiss, I'm unable to halt or change my actions.
Rolling my golden way
I persist in following my affluent and comfortable path.
The past has long been prologue
The events of the past continue to shape my present circumstances.
But I am on the case
Nonetheless, I am actively pursuing solutions or resolutions.
