GUMPTYR: Thinkin' Bout the Government

Enclosed is part of the first song I had ever written with lots recently added, in fact the first verse is the only thing remaining from the original song. Enjoy though

Thinkin’ bout the government and all the dreams we had

Even walkin’ down the street gets me kinda sad

The woman that I love, she’s getting married

To some other guy that I don’t like

Oh how mother sighs her whole life’s gone by

She wants the best for me, she wants me to be free

Then there’s Daddio, and he says to go

To a university, get myself a degree

I don’t want love but I wanna be loved

I don’t want love, I just wanna be loved

I want to hear the screams and I want to hold the seems

I want to be singer and I want to be a winner

I gotta away and I gotta leave today

My body’s pumped from pain that my heart can’t explain

I wake up with the chills and so I grab a few pills

My palms are growing hair and there’s no woman anywhere

Oh Lyanna holds the key and ol’ billy’s teasing me

The locksmith is counting; 6, 5, and three

And the dog is biting in the warm blood flowing

My mind is going and my wheelchair’s slowing

Down the road a pace to my favourite place

And I’m on my way to an early grave

With booze and decay and the promises I made

My life’s in the skids, so no, I don’t want kids

I gotta get away but I can’t get away

Feelin’ so tied down but to no home town

The wall got my hands blood and now I’m spewing up mud

Writin’ up my will keeps me livin on still

And the woman that I love is marrying a great big bug

A great big bug

Well this has been fun,
Yours truly,
James Baxter
