Analysis of The Z Song
if you never listened to me
listen now
because this is how it's goin' down
they're right to say
I'm engulfed in flames
I've got nothing to live for
they're right to say
that I have no place
on this plane
I guess
this is just how it was meant to be
the company claims
that there's aid on the way
but I've yet to see more
than an insult,
a mockery
I'm coming apart at the seams
and if you know how I am,
then you know what I mean
they took everything from me
and I'm ready
to go on a freewheeling spree
like a pack of firecrackers
going off in your eyesocket
light me up
if you'd like to die
not a man alive can stop it
