companion to Life in the Flesh Lane
and Life in the Smith Lane
Flesh in the Life Lane
There’s life before and after
laughter’s led to slaughter
so, gonna drink my coffee
smoke my dope
and go
it’s good to have a plan
can’t feel bad
just cuz bad people do bad things
and I can’t stop em
or teach em
or make em be one
especially with my past
besides, who’s looking who
down here in the zoo?
