A Hard Place



A Hard Place

Does fate exist or is it an excuse?
Did destiny let you down and now you’re regretfully sad as a clown
Does a divinity make you suffer because he’s a grumpy old bugger?
D’you trust your guardian angel to stop you treading on the third rail?

Rhetorical questions that ask the impossible
Puzzles of life unless reason is unassailable
But reality is everyone’s suspect
That it exists regardless of whims or wishes

Remember the girls that could run like boys?
Remember the boys that could dance like girls?
Confusion in the ranks of the rigid thinking
Maybe civilization was sinking

The Saturday Night Post readers were shrinking
Norman Rockwell’s country disappearing
Who do we blame for setting apple pie aflame?
It’s what happens when reason’s made lame
