The Fight Finds Us
(Song A Day 1729)

Each day passes like water or molasses
Pitch or pine it's a steep, steep climb
I'm never any better then when I'm putting on a sweater
In this in between weather I'm like an Irish Setter

I belong to a generation of miscreants
Sly foxes and the like
Bound and determined to fix the game
To make sure it goes our way
We don't go looking for the fight

But the fight finds us
Oh the fight finds us it seems eventually
And then we're bound to be ready 

Picking up the pieces each one a simple reason
To just stay in bed and make the world give me head
The truth is that I'm lazy, I'm Mario and Daisy
I'm a tune that noodles in your brain until you can't contain

The feeling that you have been here before
Bathed in the dying of the light
Slithering and stalking crawling jumping skipping walking
A thin straight light
We don't go looking for the the fight

But the fight finds us
Oh the fight finds us it seems eventually
And then we're bound to be ready 

I'm a bunch of notes in midi that normally sound shitty
But combined just so can be a daring orchestra
In these final days of prison I'm happy to be the person
That catches all the flack for the monkey on my back

I got off of all the sugar sugar sugar and then got on again
It's my destiny and my right
I'm jittery with caffeine and I'm sure I'm acting mean
And I want reach out and hug you
We're not looking for a fight
