BOTTLE ME UP By Tom Jensen
Who likes or doesn't like what they see?
Yeah... That would be me!
(Bottle me up!)
Who rests their head
On a pillow on their bed
Wondering out loud
'Bout what the latest book
They just read said?
Yeah... That would be me!
(Bottle me up!)
Who still speaks out of turn
Sharing all that he thinks he's learned
Whose always watching out for fires
At the risk of being burned?
The hippy bear hugging a tree
Yeah... That would be me!
Who knew what once was here
Sees what's left and doesn't think it's right or fair...
Who can't sleep just stays up all night?
Stupidly staring in the mirror?
Yeah... That would be me!
Whose got more quotes than Bill Bryson?
More career knock out hits than Mike f&%$ing Tyson
Lots of spice in his writings
Who keeps it hot like Curry for three?
Yeah... That would be me!
(Bottle me up!)
Maybe my ground game
Has been taking a pounding
But when I go all-out arial
I'm flat out astounding!
Leaving English teachers
Lacking adjectives
So they start using nouns in their descriptions
Like Ruthian, Dylanesque and now I'm Jane's Latest Addiction
(Bottle me up!)
Effectively I've become both the pill and the perscription
It's time they bottle me up
To limit the chance of further infliction
(Bottle me up!)
Got to stop the public from seeking any alternate direction
I guess we become free when we're at peace with dying all diseased
in the name of fighting the spread of this form of mental infection
(Bottle me up!)
No, there ain't no shame
If next to a man's name
Is just a year and a date
With the words:
"It was just his fate"
Yeah... That would be me!
(Bottle me up!)
