They say...

from JoeUser Forums
They say I’m lazy
Whoever they are
While I walk everywhere
They drive a car

They say I’m careless
I don’t give a hoot
At least I’m conscious
Of when I pollute

They say I’m shallow
And my skin is thin
But I know enough
To shut up when I win

They say I’m led
By the seat of my pants
Life is a risk
We all must chance

They say I’m motivated
By drugs and sex
As they suck down drivel
From their television sets

They say I’m lazy
Careless and shallow
But they’re envious
Because I’m a happy fellow

Heh, heh. "They" talk a lot of shit, don't they? You'd think they'd have something better to do.

Nice one, Maso. :)

Zoo,

"They" talk a lot of shit, don't they?


Indeed they do, mate, indeed they do. Perhaps the bigger mystery is why so many choose to listen. I'll never figure that out...

obviously "they" don't know what they are talking about!! People listen because the "they" tend to get really loud and you know the saying, "An empty vessel makes the most noise"...."they" don't know what they are talking about!

I have notebooks all over the house where I'm always writing shit down. The very last thing I wrote down was this:
They say I'm lazy,
Doesn't give a damn,
They say I'm crazy,
But I know who I am.
Then I come in here and see your poem and think ... Spooky.

Because I’m a happy fellow

You know that's all that matters, mate. Who cares what 'they" or anyone else says.

Chris,

Well, there you go. I knew you and I had a lot in common, mate, besides great taste in women ::

Who care what 'they" or anyone else says


My point exactly...

Good to see you, mate.

Reminds me of that Eagle's lyric They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time...

But absolutly brilliant Maso! And it has something to say too about how truth can have two sides to it...  ;)

Roy,

"Life's been good to me so far..." Wasn't it a Joe Walsh song as opposed to an Eagles song?

has something to say too about how truth can have two sides


Yes, there are too many of us who look at a situation and make snap judgements that are altogether wrong.

I amazed at just how much someone can lie to themselves, let alone everyone around them. This recent incident would be a perfect example of this, wouldn't it?
