QUEST FOR IMMORTALITY by Tom Jensen
I have finally found
a reason for waking up
It is my job to unite the legions
Who just don't give a fu$%
When you're laying foundations of concrete
You had better stand clear
For in the name of progress
Sometimes a few people disappear
One more voice left unheard
Amidst the deepest of frustrations
Only one man could kill
with complete racial equality
I would drop the bomb
without any hesitation
Just waiting for the man
to come calling on me
I would drop the bomb
without any reservations
Nah, I told myself
I've got to give in
And live on the same grid
as the competition
No more applying my time
to going fishing inside of my mind
But please just one more time
for the sake of mankind
If I could just find the perfect poetic lines
Maybe then my hatred would mend
So I'll keep on searching
for another solution
Or else I'll plot out my own demise --
the final end
My presence is important
Just the fact that I roam the earth
Makes it all but certain
That I could be the one
who lifts the curtain
Or perhaps be the person
Who pushes the button
Snaps, cracks and attacks
All of a sudden
I start putting people in the oven
Dozen by dozen by dozen
The time has come
Face it... it's done
I will never be the chosen one
Better go and grab the gun
And see how fast
these clowns can run
No, not everybody's presence
is a gift
Yet still you've got to learn
to live with it
