Lyrics

I like you... I think that you're pretty good

I appreciate you; I believe you're quite good.

But I think that you think, that I...

However, I sense that you perceive me as somewhat incomplete.

Well... that I'm a bit undercooked.

There's a perception that I am not fully developed or matured.

I'm lazy, I play silly jokes & go over the top.

I tend to be lazy, make playful jokes, and exaggerate.

& one of these days it's gonna get me killed,

My carefree behavior might lead to serious consequences, perhaps even death.

& that will be my lot!

That would be my fate or destiny.

I suppose I'd leave you alone, after a while,

Although I might distance myself from you eventually,

but I'll lie in my bed, feeding my head,

I'll continue contemplating in my bed, enriching my mind,

Until I become - fairly intelligent.

Striving to become reasonably intelligent.

100,000 people today were burned.

Reflecting on the countless people burned today.

I felt a pang of concern,

I experienced a moment of worry or empathy.

- what are we waitin' for - a message of hope.

Why are we waiting for a message of hope?

- from the... POPE!

Especially from the Pope!

I think he got shot as well!!!!

There's a belief that even he faced danger.

When everyday of your life, seems the same

When each day feels identical,

- as the last,

And the monotony becomes overwhelming,

& you know who you're gonna meet

You know who you'll encounter and what they'll inquire.

- & what they're gonna ask

Suppose your legs suddenly became useless,

then supposin' your legs just withered away

And you had to navigate life on your backside.

& you had to somehow slide around on your

Imagine that scenario.

backside - for the rest of your days.

You're forced to be content while sliding around.

'Imagine'... that you're happy now.

Reference to the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon, suggesting finding happiness in the present.

It's easy if you try - because we're all caught

An encouragement to try being happy now because we're all stuck in a disheartening cycle—life.

up in a mortifying loop - LIFE.

Life is portrayed as a repetitive and demoralizing loop.
