Orphan

from Too Big For Baths by Chris Baldwin

lyrics

Where are mother and father this evening?
Wrapped in their own little tourniquet blues!
So why don't you sit, write another tune?!?

Knowledge states frustration provokes excellence.
Orphan, this explains your genius.
Feed on the rats in the dirty streets before they eat you!

Enjoy what you have (there's starvation elsewhere!)
Endure what you have (there's starvation everywhere!)
Enjoy!

Where are mother and father forever?
They forgot about little old you.
