Altercations, situations, aggrevations   Rain on my parade   Can you pour me a glass of that fine   Whining about, someway somehow, getting up out   Common place charades   Can you cut me that practical slice      Oh, I know   Your glass seems half empty   Take a breath, look to the left   And under that tree      Have you seen the night in the eyes of those boys   Chasing them lightning bugs a step behind   Told me that they gonna conquer   The world one bug at a time   They ain't far behind      Reservations, complications, hesitations   Thorough but so weak   Let me tell you where you missed the   Marking x's and your o's, your words just show   A self-saturated leak   Let me give you a list of ways to tweak      Sir, I don't apologize for being forward   But those boys, those boys, they keep on teaching me   Folks they gotta have something they movin' towards   Swapping limitations for their destiny
