Speaking to You

Well I guess I'm trying to say,
well that is to say,
what I really want to say,
is that in this world today
there are too many ways
for me to get what I want.

So I guess I should try,
well, I know there's no "try,"
you can only do or you die.
Oh me oh my!
So I guess I'll lie,
and say that I'd rather die
than say this:

The world is so unfair,
and everybody cares,
but nobody stares
at the problem.

Some people are poor
and walk through the door
of the unemployment office.
Every day of their lives
passes by, passes by,
as if nothing will ever change
and it's so strange
that I should have it all.

I have lots of money.
It isn't very funny
that I don't have to work
because my parents have enough
to get along.

Which isn't to say,
well what I'm trying to say,
I want to say,
for the record this time:

I want to try,
please let me try,
yes I'm going to try,
to make it better.
I have ideals;
I'll make them real
this time.
It's time
for my turn to try.
